AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
Hello ladies and friends,
We did not have a meeting in January. We did, however, get together for a luncheon at The Eatery on Saturday, January 25th. It was attended by 8 members and we all had a very nice time visiting and eating with each other. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we've decided February’s luncheon will also be at The Eatery! We will gather there on February 22nd at 11:30. If you are able to attend, we would love to have you join us.
Our next meeting will be on February 11th at 7pm at the Elks Club. Remember the Elks serve a hamburger dinner that is very reasonably priced starting at 6pm.
On February 12th at 1:00, we will be meeting at my house to work on our centerpieces for the Eastern Nebraska Veterans Home in Bellevue. Many hands make light work, so I hope that you can join us.
As a reminder, if you have not already done so, please pay your 2025 membership dues.
For God and Country,
Lori Gubser
President, Unit 3
