AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
VISION 2020
This is the theme chosen for membership in the
American Legion Auxiliary. What is
your vision? Do you want to see more
veterans served by our organization?
Do you want to offer more girls the
opportunity to attend American Legion
Auxiliary’s “Cornhusker” Girls State
program each year? Do you want
to provide scholarships for youth to
continue their education beyond high
school?
Meetings are held at the Elks Lodge, 5910 South 58th Street, at 7:00 p.m.
on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except July and August). The Elks serve
hamburgers and fixings beginning at 6:00 p.m., and some members arrive early
to have a meal before the meeting. The cost is reasonable, and it gives everyone
time to visit.
Some special things that are coming up this fall include:
¤ September 10th Unit 3 meeting with 2019 Girls State citizens as
special guests to report on their experiences while learning more about our
government and themselves. We will also recognize three recipients of $500 Unit
Scholarships.
¤ September 21st (Saturday) Lincoln Unit 3 is hosting the District Twelve
Fall Meeting at the Cornhusker Bank Center, 8310 O Street, Lincoln, with
registration at 9:00 a.m. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. A salad luncheon will
be provided by those in attendance, and we’ll complete the meeting by midafternoon.
Mark your calendar now and bring your favorite salad on September
21st. (District Twelve includes ALA units in Cass, Lancaster, Otoe, and Seward
counties.)
¤ November 12th We’ll be having cake and coffee at the meeting, so come
and enjoy this time with us. November 10th is the 100th birthday of the National
American Legion Auxiliary! What a great time to recall some of the early days
of Unit 3.
¤ November 13th We’ll be helping with Lancaster County Government Day
at the County-City Building. Students from area schools will be learning more
about the duties and responsibilities of our county officials. Posts and units in
Lancaster County will provide lunch for the students and their chaperones..
¤ December 10th We’ll be collecting non-perishable food items, cleaning
supplies, and household items for veterans at the Victory Park Apartments and
Lincoln VA outpatient clinic on South 70th Street. We also have a joint social
time with The American Legion Post 3 following our separate meetings. Snacks
and card bingo are on the agenda.
Can we count on you? For more information about membership and our
