The department's position is that the directive is clear, "non-residential venues are closed." Non-residential venues include all the posts in Michigan.If a post has a bingo hall for the purposes of playing bingo that they may be open to the public with the restrictions in place to facilitate bingo.We know this has been difficult on everyone and want this over as soon as possible, but we also want everyone to be safe and obey the laws in place.Thank you for your patience,
Sincerely,Mark SuttonPublic Relations DirectorAmerican Legion Department of Michigan517-371-4720 ext 116
