American Legion Post 57 (Lester C. Rees) was established in October, 1919 and is here to help our fellow veterans in the Newberg/Dundee Oregon area.

We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Chehalem Park & Rec building (215 S Elliott S Rd) . The public is welcome to come if you are either curious or interested in joining. Depending on your eligibility, you may become a member of either American Legion, American Legion Riders or American Legion Auxiliary. We can help you sign up with the appropriate American Legion organization.
