Current leadership lacks the integrity and knowledge to be of any benefit to the community.Chartered in Westminster as a "White Cane" post.The post lacks the required number of Visually impaired members to continue under the "White Cane" charter or to continue to use the postage exemption from the post office.No business license in Westminster or Huntington Beach, and no permit to solicit chairitable contributions in Westminster or Huntington Beach.Post 266 is making false and misleading statements about what the organization does for veterans and the community, how your donations are spent, and how much of your donations are returned to the community.Post 266 also claims to financially support the P.I.E.R center at the VA Long Beach. A separate organization not affiliated with the American Legion.Post 266 Board members serve concurrently on the P.I.E.R. centers board of directors. Most if not all cash donations and inkind made to Post 266 will disappear and explained as the donations went to the PIER center.There is no landline number to call, all numbers listed are for Robin Hoyle. She is the contact for everything donations, programs, membership, human resources, legal liabilities.Do you homework, and demand the post commander and financial officer produce the complete 990s for the last 3 years and the exemption application, as required by law by all non profit organizations that wish to remain tax exempt.Demand the truth, hold the post accountable, it's your donation, you have the right to see how your donation is used, and it's legally required .
