AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
Auxiliary News …
A big “Thank You” to all the members who donated
Expo Dry Erase markers, #2 pencils, and large boxes of
Kleenex to fulfill our pledge of “10 for Education” in
honor of American Education week. These items were
presented to Eastridge Elementary School. If you didn’t
have a chance to shop for these items and still want to participate, we will gladly
accept your donations at our December 10th meeting.
Speaking of our December meeting, we will have an abbreviated business
meeting and then be playing card bingo and enjoying Christmas cookies and
coffee with American Legion Post 3. This is becoming a December tradition and
one that members enjoy. The small gifts for winners are donated by Auxiliary
members.
Our Auxiliary unit does not meet in January, but some members will be going
to Kearney for Nebraska’s Mid-Year Conference at the Ramada Inn, January 10-
12.
We’ll resume monthly meetings in February and hope you will join us at the
Elks Lodge on Tuesday, February 11.
