A Message from Department President Theresa BrandtOctober 29, 2021
As the visitations for District Fall Conferences come to an end, it is time to start thinking about Mid-Year. I encourage all members of the American Legion Auxiliary to attend. It will be held at the Hotel Elegante in Colorado Springs January 21—23, 2022. I am going to do some poster board displays for the Auxiliary Programs. If you are committee chairman, please make a poster showcasing what your committee is doing. Include pictures, information about the committee, and any awards that can be earned. If you have any members that have passed away, please contact our Department Chaplain: Donna Rae Smith so we can remember them at the Memorial Service on Sunday. We are going to present the Hero Youth Award at the Media Banquet. If you know of any youth in your community that has done a Heroic act let us know. Send the information to the Department Secretary Terry Lena. We will be doing thank you cards for the caretakers in our communities. If you have thank you cards and want to bring them, please do. On Friday January 22, 2022 the auxiliary will host a Rosie the Riveter fundraiser at Post 38. Dress up like Rosie the Riveter. A shuttle will be available from the hotel to Post 38. A taco bar will be available if you wish to eat there. A DJ will be playing music. We will have some activities to raise money. Thank you for all that you do.
