The city of Cape Coral has presented American Legion Post 90 with a Community Recognition Award.

Cape Coral city manager Michael Ilczyszyn presented the post with an engraved crystal plaque. Receiving the recognition were Post 90 Commander Keith Berres, Marketing Committee Chair Ted Clark and committee members.

Post 90 has a very active outreach program for veterans and their families. Efforts include support for veterans in need, children’s programs, student programs and other community support efforts. Since Cape Coral and all of Lee County are growing rapidly these outreach efforts are especially needed, post officials said.

Post 90 Commander Berres stated that Cape Coral’s rapid growth includes many veterans moving into the city and they can take advantage of American Legion Post 90 benefits and also get to know the community through their membership.
