At the meeting on November in 1955 the members and auxiliary voted to Purchase Mueller's Hall in Theresa. The remodeling was done by the members. Grand Opening of the hall was held on September 30, 1956. The building was officially dedicated in Novemebr of 1961. A mortage burning was held at the Birthday Party in March of 1967. The hall was in operation from 1956 to 1978. After operating the hall for 22 years it was sold and the meetings were then held through our various places in the village until a new clubhouse was purchased in 1983 , remodeled by Legion members and is the current home of the Post today. Our meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of every month at 7pm. We currently have 74 members.The building is also used for the local seniors for card playing at least once every week.
