On Christmas Eve, the Hastings American Legion Post 47 closed suddenly, and there was not prior
notice given to staff or patrons.
The Hastings American Legion took to Facebook to address community concerns. The Commander Post #47 stated, “The Executive Committee made the difficult but responsible decision to temporarily shut down operations in order to take a step back, evaluate our current situation, and develop a strategic plan to reshape how the Club does business moving forward.”
According to the social media post, the goal of the temporary closure is to “generate sustainable revenue and ensure the long-term future of the Hastings Legion.”
KDWA reached out to the American Legion for a comment but received no reply.
