Make a Difference Day! Henry G Fix American Legion Auxiliary Unit 23 honored our Veterans and spouses November 5, 2020.

Due to the pandemic having affected many in our Unit and Community, we as a unit decided to MAKE A DIFFERENCE for them.

Care Baskets were made and distributed to eight Nursing Home Residents and thirty-three community/unit members.

Auxiliary members donated fruit cups, fruits, 2021 calendars, pudding cups, baked goods, snack bars, chips, emery boards, hand sanitizers, tea, cheese and crackers, fruit snacks, assorted prepackaged cookies, and fruit bars. All items not used to fill baskets will be used for the Back-Pack Program at the Treasure Chest

Pictured above are unit members - Sue Jensen, Ethel Kurtz, Cheryl Lyngen, Kathy Evenson, Liz Bennett, Judy Hanson, Denise Schmidt. Not pictured -DaNann Kistler, Rhonda Kirton and Wini Iverson.
