AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
Dear Unit Members,
The holidays are coming fast.
Thanksgiving has passed, and Christmas
will soon be here with so many things
to do. How about helping a veteran with their Christmas
dinner? Do you know someone who could use a little help?
I know times are not the best with COVID-19 still coming
at us. See what you could do for others.
Membership is coming in nicely. Lynne Wild is working very hard for us as
membership chairman. If you received your notice, send it and your dues in
right away before you forget. It is easy to just let it sit there waiting for you to
make your payment. Mail it in Today. Thank you!
Plans were being made to take part in the Lincoln Veterans Day Parade on
November 8th, but the parade was cancelled at the last minute because of virus related
concerns. We were all hoping that there would have been a good turnout
to support our veterans.
A “needs tree” was placed at the Lincoln VA Clinic during the week
of Thanksgiving. As an Auxiliary, we will be shopping for these veterans
for Christmas.
I am hopeful that we can get together with Post 3 for the Christmas Party on
our December meeting night. With COVID-19, who knows what will happen in
December. It is so hard to plan for events.
Mid-Year Conference will be held January 15-17 at the Rivers Edge
Conference Center in Columbus, and I hope you would like to attend. This is the
time when Department chairmen will go over their programs. A special guest
will be National President Nicole Clapp of Iowa. Please come to meet her.
Remember, we do not have an Auxiliary meeting in January.
I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
For God and Country,
Barbara Skillman
Lincoln Unit 3 President
