End of Year Post Reports Update May 15, 2022

I know you are all tired of hearing about the Post Reports. This is one last plea from me to the Posts that have not submitted the required reports. This Saturday I will be meeting with The Department of Virginia Officials to go over which Posts are missing reports. I would like nothing more than to have the 16th District at 100% for our reports. Please help the 16th shine. Thank you all for a fantastic year.   For God and Country Mark A. SteinCommander American Legion 16th District of Virginia...

American Legion Baseball Notices for the 15th and 16th Districts

15th and 16th District League bylaws It looks as if we will have 4 Senior teams this season: Post 290 Stafford, Post 72 Warrenton, Post 21 Winchester, and Post 34 Leesburg.
