AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY NOVEMBER, 2023
The American Legion Auxiliary met on November 2 with President, Cheryl opening the meeting . Chaplain, Sue led us in prayer and we did the Pledge of Allegiance, The Star Spangled Banner and the Preamble.
Roll call indicated that all officers were present. The secretary read the minutes and they were approved and placed on file. The treasurer gave her report and it was approved and placed on file for audit. Cheryl reported that our membership is now at 153 with more coming in. She also reported that many cards had been sent in October. Bingo was held at Palisade HealthCare in October with 16 residents participating as well as five volunteers. The secretary read the newsletter from Noel Bonjour reporting on district activities including the district meeting in Tea and recapping things from the Honor Flight.
There were no bills. Dictionaries were handed out at the school by Rhonda and Liz and the students were very appreciative. The American Red Cross Blood Drive was held at the Legion on October 20 and 22 donors gave blood. Lunch was served here by the auxiliary and the donors appreciated it.
“Be the One” is the theme of the Legion, Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion. We all are encouraged to check on veterans often with friendliness and caring.
A trick or treat Halloween event was set up by the auxiliary on Halloween. DaNann offered them a game and they came around tables to collect treats from auxiliary and legion members. It was a fun and successful event with over 100 children participating.
