American Legion Post #25 meets at 480 S Calvary Way in Cottonwood. Its own site lists post officers, an auxiliary, a SAL unit, and a riders group, along with flag information and a banquet hall available for use. A calendar carries the general meeting and weekly bingo on Thursday evenings, and a monthly newsletter is posted with back issues available from the webmaster. No opening hours are posted listed here, so the calendar on the post site is the thing to check. Call (928) 634-3004 or email webmaster@alpost25az.org.

Clubs in the Verde Valley
We list eight clubs, chambers and associations. Six are in Cottonwood, with one each in Camp Verde and Jerome. All eight have a website, and seven list a phone number.
Three kinds of organization sit on this page. First, the service clubs: an American Legion post, a Lions club and a Rotary club. They run on members and volunteer work. Second, two chambers of commerce, in Camp Verde and Jerome. They speak for local business, and they’re usually the quickest way to get an answer about doing business in a town. Third, the trade and place associations. The Verde Valley Wine Consortium and the Verde Valley Wine Trail handle the wine side, and the Old Town Association looks after Cottonwood’s Main Street.
Only two publish opening hours. That’s about what you’d expect. Most of these groups meet on a schedule instead of keeping an office open all day, so the meeting time is the fact you actually want, not a door time. You’ll find it on each organization’s own site.
New to the valley? A chamber or a service club is often a better first call than a search engine when you want to know how something works around here. Who does what. Who to ask. What is actually open in February.
