SYKESVILLE MEMORIAL POST 223
ADJUTANT: TODD YATSKO
Message from the Commander
Effective September 7th the Commander has announced that the American Legion Sykesville Memorial Post 223 Lounge is CLOSED until further notice.
The section of the building that contains the Lounge has suffered severe damage to the roof truss system and at the advice of our insurance partner and a qualified structural engineer the Lounge is CLOSED until the necessary repairs can be made.
During this time, the Legion Hall will be open and will be used in place of the Lounge for daily business. Food and Bar service, entertainment events and other functions normally held in the Lounge will be provided in the Hall. Your Post leadership, our facilities manager, our staff and volunteers will make every effort possible to provide all of the services you would enjoy if the Lounge was available.
The unfortunate situation occurs at a time when the post financial condition barely meets expenses and losing the regular Lounge revenues will only worsen our financial health. You are urged to continue patronizing the post and share our comradery while supporting the Post.
--UPDATE 02/05/24--
Repair work has started on the lounge.
The basic construction permits were approved by the County and the restoration contractor has been authorized to move forward with acquisition of replacement roof trusses. The structureal engineer determined that all 9 trusses were damaged and require replacement (that was part of the reason it took so long to gain approval of the permits).
Our Finance Officer recently received settlement funds from the Insurance Agency for the repairs and partial payment for our claim of lost revenues while the lounge has been closed.
As material delivery schedules are announced an a contruction plan/schedule is provided by our contractor, this page will be updated,
Please look to our Website, Facebook page and Constant Contact eMail messages for updates as we work through this situation.

During the period when our Lounge is unavailable there will be days when the Hall will be closed to members to fulfill existing rental commitments. Please look to this section of our website for schedule of closings or reduced hours.
