Sons Of The American Legion, Squadron 184
Welcome to The Sons of The American Legion, Squadron 184, who support many events, philanthropic efforts, and other projects for the American Legion South Bay. The SONS of Post 184 (the SAL’s) have just held their annual elections, and the 2024 – 2025 board consists of Chuck Tipton, Commander, Joe Czarske, 1st Vice Commander, Ryan Kenerson, 2nd Vice Commander, Mike Mushaney, Finance Director, Jim Taylor, Sergeant at Arms, Rick Graves, Historian, and Colton Garcia, Chaplin.
We want to take this opportunity to let all SONS know that our membership drive for the 2024 – 2025 fiscal year is in full swing and encourage them to renew their membership. We continue to grow our membership here at Squadron 184 and identify new ways to generate funds to support our philanthropic and civic goals and the American Legion mission. It’s an exciting time of growth for Squadron 184, and trying new things to support Post 184 and The American Legion mission.
Many here know The Sons of The American Legion from our great yearly BBQ events. Specifically, the SONS manage all four BBQ events that Post 184 provides open to the public each year: Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Veteran’s Day. But the SONS are so much more than those great events. We take great pride in supporting the Veterans Support Organization Joseph’s Gift and working closely with that group. We strongly support the American Legion Baseball program and Post 184’s Boys and Girls State efforts and help to fund local scholarships and the ROTC program. We help those in need, including first responder families, when one becomes injured or passes away in conjunction with the Harbor Regional Center’s Harbor Help Fund.
Our funds are derived from generous contributions from fellow SONS members and the public, and our twice-yearly fundraiser, ROCK N’ RIBFEST, is held twice annually. ROCK N’ RIBFEST events happen because of tremendous food and monetary donations from fellow SONS members. The next ROCK N’ RIBFEST is set for Saturday, December 14th; please come and support it! We depend heavily upon our fundraisers to sustain our efforts, and we appreciate your support.
In closing, Squadron 184 is a generous and supportive group that supports Post 184, The American Legion mission, and the other Legion families here at Post 184. Our meetings are held on the Second Monday of each month at 6 PM at Post 184.
