American Legion - Team New York

TEAM NEW YORK

 

 

 

Fellow Legionnaires,

 

During August 2020, Team New York mailed a donation request to every Post in the Department of New York requesting support for Vincent James "Jim" Troiola who had been selected by our national leaders as a candidate to become National Commander of the American Legion. We fully realize that this request was made during the peak of the pandemic and many posts were not meeting and many post homes were closed because of State New York mandates.

 

Reports are now informing us that positive COVID 19 tests are being reduced every day along with the number of hospitalizations and number of deaths. With the number of vaccinations increasing, there is the beginning of a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Many post homes have opened and many posts, counties, and districts have begun meeting following State guidelines of social distancing and mask wearing.

 

In recent weeks, the gentleman that was to precede Jim as National Commander, Randall Fisher of Kentucky, passed away after a two-week battle with COVID 19, a devastating loss to The American Legion. As a result, Jim's candidacy is accelerated by a year.

 

For those that have already contributed we are most grateful. For those that have not had the opportunity yet, we are once again requesting that you consider donating to Jim Troiola's campaign fund. Your generous donation will assist him in meeting all the requirements of campaigning for this high office. Please make your contributions payable to "Team New York Campaign Fund" and mail it to Department of New York Offices at 1304 Park Blvd, Troy, New York 12180 or to donate online please visit https://vincentjtroiola.com/web/donate/.

 

The Team New York Committee thanks you in advance for both your consideration and generosity.

 

Yours for the Good of the Legion,

 

Mike
