Digital Bulletin Board for AMVETS Posts

An AMVETS Post runs four organizations under one roof — the Post, the Ladies Auxiliary, Sons of AMVETS, and the Riders. Plus hall rentals, canteen nights, and District events. That’s a lot of flyers on one corkboard, and most of them are outdated by the second week of the month.

Mango Display puts a TV on the wall that pulls every event from your Post’s Google Calendar. Your officers already update that calendar. Now every member walking in sees it too.

Why It Fits AMVETS

Four organizations, one screen. Color-code the Post, Auxiliary, SOA, and Riders so each group gets equal visibility without stepping on each other.

The Adjutant’s workload doesn’t change. If events already go in Google Calendar, Mango Display is just a TV showing what’s already there.

Queen of Hearts and canteen nights drive attendance. A screen behind the bar showing tonight’s drawing or dinner converts casual walk-ins into regulars.

Riders chapter rides get prominent placement. Charity ride schedules show up weeks in advance on every screen — no more members missing the kickstands-up time.

Works With What You Already Have

Mango Display runs on most displays your organization already has. Supported devices include Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs (Tizen), Android TV & Google TV, LG Smart TVs (WebOS), Apple iPad, Android and Fire tablets, Amazon Echo Show, Windows PCs, any modern web browser, and Raspberry Pi. If your TV is a smart TV, you can usually install Mango Display directly with no streaming stick at all. If it isn’t, a $30 Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast does the job. See the full list on our supported display types page.

Add your Post’s Google Calendar and existing Wi-Fi and you’re 15 minutes from a working digital bulletin board — no contractor, no installer required.

PDFs, Sheets & Auto-Generated Graphics (Business Plan)

Upload a PDF flyer for your next Americanism event or charity run and it rotates on screen next to the calendar. Point Mango Display at a Google Sheet if your Secretary tracks hall rentals in a spreadsheet. Or let Mango Display auto-generate branded event graphics for you, so every event on the TV looks polished without a volunteer designer.

FAQ for AMVETS Post Officers

Who usually sets this up? The Adjutant or a tech-comfortable E-board member. One evening is plenty.

Can SOA and the Riders have their own sections? Yes — separate calendar layers, color-coded.

Does it show hall rental bookings? Yes. If the hall is rented out Saturday, members see it well in advance.

Does it work if our Wi-Fi is slow? Yes. The display caches the next week of events locally.

AMVETS Announcements on a Digital Bulletin Board

AMVETS Posts use digital bulletin boards for the same reasons Legion and VFW Posts do: the weekly schedule changes, the cork board doesn’t keep up, and members miss events. Typical AMVETS announcements on a TV include Post meetings, Auxiliary meetings, Sons of AMVETS, Riders events, breakfast and dinner fundraisers, bingo, ceremonies, and community service drives. Using a TV as a bulletin board in the canteen keeps everyone informed without printing a new flyer every week.

Veteran Support Organization Events

Veteran support organization events benefit from predictable, visible communication. When a member walks in and the TV shows the week’s schedule — tonight’s dinner, tomorrow’s meeting, Saturday’s Ride — attendance goes up. Mango Display pulls from the same Google Calendar the Adjutant already maintains, so there’s no duplicate data entry. Update the calendar, update the board.

Add Photos to Events

Want to show a photo alongside an event — a portrait for a member’s birthday, a photo from last year’s Riders event, or a flyer for an upcoming fundraiser? Attach an image to the Google Calendar event and Mango Display shows it on screen with the event details. Photos aren’t auto-generated — you add the ones you want, whether it’s a portrait for a member’s birthday, a shot from last year’s cookout, a flyer for an upcoming fundraiser, or a headshot for a visiting speaker. The display pulls them straight from the calendar entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should an AMVETS Post show on a digital bulletin board?

Post meetings, Auxiliary meetings, Sons of AMVETS and Riders events, ceremonies, fundraisers, bingo, and community service drives — anything already on the Post’s Google Calendar.

How do AMVETS Posts update the display?

Through Google Calendar. The Adjutant adds or changes an event, and Mango Display reflects the change on every screen within minutes.

Does it work on the TV we already have in the Post?

Almost certainly yes. Mango Display runs on Samsung, LG, Sony, and Android smart TVs directly, or on a $30 Fire TV stick plugged into any older HDMI TV.
