Post 280 History

 

Temporary Charter Granted February 25, 1946

Permanent Charter granted August 02, 1946

Incorporated 1997.

A number of years ago, someone threw out all of the old Post records, so Post history beyond approximately 1986 is lost forever.   Post 280 is attempting to establish the historical record of the Post including previous Post Commanders.   If you have any information that may help (particulary names, dates or events) please forward them to the Post Adjutant at adjutant@post280.org.

Thank you to J.E. Newbern for digging up the names of the charter members.
