IT'S THAT TIME FOLKS!
SATURDAY JULY 18 NOON
At the meeting Tuesday with 14 attendees I
announced the plan to re-open Stahl with modified
hours. Starting with this Saturday as opening day,
we will operate
temporarily on
Thursdays, Fridays, and
Saturdays. This will give
all of us the opportunity
to adapt to the rules of
our government.
Social distancing of
different households,
mask when leaving a
table, 2 hour wipe
downs, and other
guidelines are to be
followed to help make a
safe environment for everyone. Signs will be posted,
please comply without debate, and refer any
questions to the bartender for clarification. As
always all customers must honor the bartender’s
directions on any house policy.
Machines are being spaced out today to allow all of
them to be played. Tables also will be placed in
compliant positions-DO NOT MOVE. We will have
approximately 9 bar seats, depending on
households. We can legally have 98 customers as of
today's regulations, but that will present challenges
for spacing, if it occurs. There will be hand sanitizer
and disinfectant for your use.
When you are ready to leave, it would be kind of you
to wipe down your seat and tables so our bartender
can continue serving the other patrons — just a
suggestion brought up at the meeting. Pitchers
should be handled by one patron, and sanitized
when finished by the bartender. At some point, we
may take temperatures to enter, but for now, if you
have any known symptoms or positive test results
stay home.
This will be an adjustment to all
of us, to say the least, but with
some effort, we can make it
work. We intend to run under
these conditions for a few
weeks if allowed, and adjust
policy as permitted.
At the same meeting, motion
was made and passed to make
the Post non-smoking
immediately. PLEASE
COMPLY. You must go out the
entrance door to smoke until we
get a facility to smoke in. And
that is being planned now. Smoking will not be
tolerated in any part of the building. Any challenges
to the policy will be dealt with possible suspension.
I know this is a major change, but I ask you for your
cooperation in this matter and offer my thanks in
advance.
As a reminder, please remember our bartenders
work for tips, and these changes put a big burden
on them. Share some love.
WELCOME BACK
****URGENT NOTICE****
April 21, 2020
Victor M Callahan,
Commander
You are receiving this notice to inform you, as members in good standing of Joseph B Stahl Post 30, of the present situation. In these dangerous days of 2020, most of us have quarantined in our homes, me included. However, our attorney, Michael Scali has been busy.
I am happy to announce that we are scheduled to complete settlement with Wilmington University on Monday April 27th. I have already submitted 24 files of signed, notarized, and witnessed documents, and Wilmington University is doing the same today.
On Monday, I will be signing, scanning, and submitting the final two documents to execute the sale of our property to Wilmington, subject to all the agreements we have been presented and found acceptable. I have invited your officers to be present to witness this event for posterity, requesting all have masks, gloves, and properly distance ourselves. Unfortunately, I am prevented from inviting the entire membership.
Also, I have asked our Second Vice, Sal Vaccarino, to set up a zoom meeting to enable members and officers who will not be present to witness this historical event in our Post’s evolution:

We literally have thousands of members to thank for us getting to this point, from you and I back to Commander Jim Wrightson in 1950 when our original charter was sought as a Post of the American Legion. He held meetings to plan and prepare for that charter. They purchased our existing building for $3,156, and so it went. This has involved many different programs worked on year after year, with positive contributions from kind and generous members like ourselves, who believed in what Stahl could do. And do well we have, to our community, our State, and our Legion.
I wish to thank you all for your support to Stahl Post, and for allowing me as your Commander to usher Stahl Post forward in Stahl Post’s future commitment to our community and Veterans. God bless you all, God bless Stahl, and God bless America.
