American Legion staff will discuss veterans benefits, legislative efforts, membership opportunities and service to the community, according to a news release. A veterans service officer will be available to discuss claims and other benefits questions.

Sessions are planned from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at the Logan Wheeler American Legion Post 36 at 1120 N. 34th Ave. in Yakima.
