A Message from Department President Theresa BrandtSeptember 1, 2021
Department of Colorado just got back from National Convention. Colorado got several kudos during the Convention. Nancy Defienderfer was mentioned at the membership meeting for her synopsis of Membership what each letter of the word Membership means in relation to membership. Terri Clinton won the National Award for Americanism for her 25 Patriotic Days, she was also mentioned for Legislative for speaking on behalf of veterans at several different functions, Unit 13 was mentioned for winning the Northwest Division for Public Relations, Colorado was mentioned for the sock activity and Unit 1879 won the President’s Award of Excellence award for the cookbook they produced for the 100th anniversary. In September the Fall Conferences will start. I encourage all members to attend as there is always something new to learn. I am looking forward to traveling around as much as I can. We are in the process of upgrading our webpage with current information. If you are a chairman of a committee, please go on the webpage for The American Legion Auxiliary Department of Colorado which is: www.alacolorado.com and check out your committee and see if anything is old and outdated. If so, please send Laurie Kuntz or Cathy Barger the new information so it can be put on the webpage. Please remember to refresh the page so you can see the current information. I will start working on it to see what needs updated after National Convention. Our members need to go to the website and see current information. I will be gone to the National Presidents Retreat October 10-12, but I will still be available if I am needed. Our prayers got out to Afghanistan, remember our troops that are still there and that everyone gets out safely especially as 9-11 anniversary approaches. Our support is needed more than ever to assure them that their service mattered. Keep Your Hearts on the Tasks at Hand. Presidents Theme:
