The Old Mission Legion Hall will once again start hosting their twice-monthly dinners, after a year off during the Covid-19 pandemic.
These community dinners – all are welcome – are a valuable fundraising tool for the Legion to help Michigan soldiers and their families. Learn more about the history of the Legion Hall (including the fire that destroyed it in the 1990s) and how they benefit veterans here .

As in “The Before Times” (pre-pandemic), the dinners will be held at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, with the first one on July 20, 2021. You’re welcome to gather at 6 p.m. and chat with friends and neighbors.
As with a lot of places, costs have gone up and they are doing the same. Dinners are now $15, with any leftover dinners going for $10. They will also be seating six at a table instead of eight.
They are also NOT serving “family-style” or buffet dinners yet, so for the time being, each person will take their plate up to the kitchen counter where the cooks will serve the food. Desserts will be on the table as they’ve always been.
As for masks, they are going with the honor system. If you are fully vaccinated, masks are not necessary. If not, they ask that you wear a mask while visiting and moving about the hall.
The Legion Hall – officially known as Old Mission American Legion Hall Post 399 – is located in the village of Old Mission at 4007 Swaney Road, on the left just before you round the corner to Haserot Beach.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
