Dear Legionnaire:
Time and time again it has been demonstrated that the most successful Posts are the ones who work cooperatively with their Auxiliary Units. With this in mind, our Post has approved the formation of an Auxiliary Unit, as we realize the positive effects a Unit can have on a Post. We hope to build a family organization of Legion and Auxiliary members volunteering together too enable us to do more for our veterans, our youth, and the community.
Do you have female family, relatives, friends, even co-workers who enjoy volunteering? Would they ;enjoy helping the Auxiliary in the betterment of our veterans, youth, and our community? Are these women eligible for membership in the American Legion Auxiliary? If so, will you please share this information in this letter with them – maybe make a copy and take it to work to be posted.
Young girls and women eligible for membership are the wife, daughter,, mother, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, sister, and grandmother, including same step relatives of a Legionnaire or a deceased veteran having served during the eligibility dates. Women who of their own right are eligible for membership in The American Legion, are also eligible to join The American Legion Auxiliary (they become dual members).
There will be an informational meeting of interested women on March 31 at the Vince Taylor Post 290 at 7 PM. A Department Auxiliary representative will be present at this meeting to provide information on the various programs and activities, dues, meeting dated, officers, etc.
Having a strong Unit to work closely with our Post will strengthen our commitment to this community.
Please call Donnea Simon, Post member, for more information:
Larry Chapman
Post Commander
