AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
Dear Unit Members ---
Our unit’s year is coming to an end, and
reports are being submitted. Plans are being
made for the Department Convention, which will be held June

In May, Unit 3 held elections for officers for the coming year. Elected were:
President --- Barbara Skillman
Vice President --- Char Moore
Secretary --- Barb Michael
Treasurer --- Lorie Gubser
Chaplain --- Jeanie Harris.
Our June 13 meeting will be held in the Community Room at the Cornhusker
Bank located at 84th and “O” Streets. Please join us for light refreshments at
6:00 pm. Installation of officers will take place at 7:00 pm. Guest are welcome,
and we look forward to sharing this time with you.
American Legion Auxiliary Girls State will be held the week of June 4-10.
We have three girls who will represent Lincoln Unit 3. And, some of us will be
working at Girl's State during the week.
Unit meetings will not be held in July or August, but we will be getting ready for
the next year. We will start holding meetings again on September 12.
Until we meet again, have a wonderful summer.
For God and Country,
Barbara Skillman
President, Lincoln Unit 3
