LADIES AUXILIARY
Dear Ladies,
Our January meeting was very
informative. Yes, we are very grateful for the members who always donate
their time and money to support us. We are now a unit of almost 200 ladies
how I wish more members would attend to help with our new and up coming
community activities. We were asked to support A Palm Beach Health Dept program
called "shots-by-two" a program that reminds busy mothers, that it's time for
new needed shots for their child. Some of us did volunteer but how nice it would
have been to have extra helping hands. (If you can help, it's not to late)
We are again asking for a donation of
a bottle of cheer for our yearly St Patrick's Day "BASKET OF CHEER” that is
raffled on St. Patrick's Day. Please label your donation and drop it at
the Post.
Our next meeting deals with us choosing girls to be sent
to Tallahassee for our Girls State Program. Last year 15 girls applied for the
two spots we had available. Due to our increase in membership, we now have
three spaces available. A very cool program, please come and observe.
I hope not to be repeating myself but
on the first and second Friday of every month the Auxiliary prepares appetizers
for the Post. Like I said before, it is always the same ten members
donating their time and money. At our last meeting we discussed asking the
membership for a yearly $10.00 donation for this cause. If you are able,
please sent your donation to the American Legion Auxiliary-Unit 271-775 US Hwy
One Tequesta, FL 33469.
Our membership renewals are still
slacking. Our fiscal year goes from July through July. Please send in
your dues so we can yet again this year reach 100% membership. It means so
much for our ranking at state level.
Thank you to all of our officers and
members who are always supportive of our missions.
For the Auxiliary
