My neighbor invited me to join her in viewing a play at this venue. I thought it would be…read moreinteresting to watch a war themed play in an underground military bunker. It was already dark when we arrived, so I didn't notice much about the outside other than the gravel parking lot. We walked down a ramp and entered a fair sized gathering room that included walls decked out with posters from all of the various wars in which the veterans had fought, card tables with plain padded chairs, and a bar, and the room was clouded with smoke. I am no fan of cigarette smoke, so this was a disappointing discovery. After the lights and sounds were checked properly, we were invited back to the bunker area for the performance, where we sat in scattered folding chairs. The air was much fresher and cooler than the gathering room, and no smoking was allowed in this area, thank goodness. The play, appropriately named "Wounded", was an intense drama about wounded soldiers from the war in Iraq. It was performed well, and the bunker was a great aesthetic to the setting. It was put on by Merry War Theater Group, who presented themselves as a pop-up ensemble whose acts can be followed on Facebook or through their e-mail list, as they do not perform in just one arena. My heart and gratitude go out to our Veterans. However, I would like to preserve my lungs from the wretches of second hand smoke.

When I first moved to the Truckee Meadows in 2008, I wasn't familiar with the Veterans Guest House…read more My introduction to VGH was by my daughter's friend who attended Orvis School of Nursing. As a military brat, this organization holds a special place in my heart. I have donated to this cause for fifteen years, including posting a reminder daily on my Facebook page to vote for VGH to win a large donation from Home Depot years ago. And, yes, they won! Finally, I visited their wonderful facility at their annual open house on December 9, 2023. I am so pleased to see that we are helping our Veterans and their families with lodging while the Veteran receives medical attention at no cost to them! Many companies and other groups provide dinner nightly for those staying there! If you have a minute, you might want to take a quick tour to see how VGH "spends" our donations and I believe you will also be impressed. Please keep in mind that VGH operates solely on the donations of our local community! There are reading areas, a laundry room, TV rooms, and bedrooms from single beds to family-sized all with bathrooms, large open community areas like the kitchen and dining area. Please remember that our Veterans signed a blank check when they served our country and now we can help them!

I'm not a veteran, so I have never used this facility…read more But it's one of my favorite organizations to contribute to. Several times a year I drop off various greeting cards for the guests to use, as well as various dental items. They also accept cash and gift cards to several area stores. Throughout the year VGH has a few fund raisers. October is Boots to Fashion. A fabulous event at a Reno casino ballroom that includes a champagne three course lunch, raffle and auction items and of course a fashion show. Women veterans of all ages and branches donate their time walk the runway and show off the latest trends in women's clothing from local shops. A fabulous event that honors the many women in the military. Why are fund raisers needed ? Because VGH provides US military service veterans and their families a place to stay in Reno while they are receiving medical treatment at the VA Center or other area facilities. The House is like a small hotel with a common area living room and kitchen. It is not associated the Veterans Administration. Guests are suggested a $25 a night donation to help defray costs, but no one is refused for lack of funds. The house, located across the street from the VA Hospital, is a non-profit, and receives no state or federal money for its day to day operations. Huge kudos for everything the VGH does for the veterans. Thank you sir and mam for your service. For more info - veteransguesthouse.org

They have been very wonderful to deal with in regards to events held by the Girl Scouts. They have donated to us and allowed us to use their facilities for our Girls and it is greatly appreciated. Now, if you are in need of a building, let me tell you. The American Legion Hall staff are fantastic to deal with. The rental price is very inexpensive considering what you get. There are tables and chairs a plenty. There is a full kitchen and two restrooms. Bar style serving areas as well. There is a divider that can split the room into one smaller and one larger. (Think ceremony on one side and reception on the other for an inexpensive wedding facility). Plenty of parking. The facility is a blank canvas really, so you could decorate it to the nines. For a great little building run by a wonderful team with a fantastic mission, I would say check it out! No frills and such, but great for many purposes. I'm a fan! **I would have posted many pictures, but they are pictures with children that I am not a parent of, so I couldn't do that today...sorry.

We'll start with this, from wikipedia (the best of sources, as everyone knows!): "The American…read moreLegion is a congressionally chartered mutual-aid veterans organization of the United States armed forces founded to benefit those veterans who served during a wartime period as defined by the U.S. Congress" I wish I could highlight that and make it bold: "mutual-aid veterans organization of the United States armed forces founded to benefit those veterans who served during a wartime period." Keeping that in mind. When I first moved to Reno, I had to arrange almost everything via long distance communication. After searching craigslist for a while, I found a month-to-month trailer that was parked out behind the American Legion post that would serve it's purpose for a month or two until I could find something more permanent. The guy who had listed it represented himself as a manager at this A.L. post by the way. I mailed the guy my security deposit and first month's rent and was told it was mine for as long as I needed to stay there. Sweet. With everything I owned loaded into the back seat of my Mustang, I finally pulled up here after a shitty 11 hour drive. Spent the better part of that night cleaning it from top to bottom, getting everything unloaded and stowed away, etc. Next day, the REAL manager of the American Legion post essentially tries to force his way into the trailer. I'll pause here and say this: Except under extreme circumstances, if you try to force your way into my home (rental or not) we're going to have an altercation. So I had heard the commotion and met him at the door, asked what the hell he wanted. He asked what I was doing, and I replied "just hanging out in my new apartment here." So he explains to me that the guy I had rented from was not only NOT a manager, but he was basically a charity case who was living in the basement of the main building, and had begged the A.L. post to allow him keep his trailer out back until he got back on his feet. So then the REAL manager tells me to pack my shit and get out of there. "Lease or no lease", he said, "you staying here violates code." Me: "Um... What code?" "It doesn't matter", says he, "it just isn't going to work. You're on our property here and you have to leave." Me: "You DO realize that'll essentially leave me homeless, right? I'm pretty low on funds right now, and I rented this place in good faith from hundreds of miles away. And now, you, the American Legion is going to throw a veteran out on the street?" Him: "Oh, you're a veteran? You have 24 hours then." No assistance, no advice, no leniency. If I had had the money back then, I'd have looked into legal action. To top it off, the douchebag semi-vagrant piece of work I'd rented the place from in the first place refused to give me my rent money back--just my security deposit. Again, legal action was just not feasible. But muthafucker, I'mma YELP YOU!!! So let's recap. What did we say the mission of the American Legion was? A veteran's aid organization founded to benefit those who served during wartime? (That's me BTW. Two deployments, thank you.) And kicking a veteran out into the street aids him somehow, when he has done nothing wrong?? AMERICAN LEGION POST NUMBER 1... YOU HAVE FUCKING FAILED YOUR MISSION!!!!!!!!!

Although their steam room wasn't available, I was able to take advantage of their sauna, coed spa room and a massage. The ambiance was beautifully decorated and they offered complementary snacks and tea as well as one beverage with champagne or a mimosa as an option.
