Auxiliary President – Sharon Pierson – Auxiliary July Events

• Blue Star Banner:  This month JoAnn Gonzales was presented a banner in honor of her granddaughter Lynn Bravard.

Poppy Distribution: On July 6^th Joyce Hudgens, Sandi Harrison, Mary Seeley, LaVerne Walker and Trudie Browning (along with various granddaughters) distributed Poppies at Wal-Mart and collected $400.25 in donations and $21 for Poppy Seed  packets – way to go ladies!!!! Joyce (Poppy co-Chair) tells us they will be distributing Poppies at Wal-Mart again on August 31^st so if you are interested in helping out please contact Joyce to sign up.

• Girls State: Liz Thomas visited with us at the July meeting and told us all about her experience at Girls State this year. Liz was elected City Councilwoman at Girls State, had a wonderful time and thanked all of us for giving her the opportunity to attend.
• Chain of Unity:  Our newly elected Department President, Janet Romero, has challenged each Unit to create a chain of strips of colored construction paper. On each strip of paper (or link in the chain) should be printed one thing our unit has accomplished this year. On July 23^rd a group of members met at the Post to start Unit 44’s chain and that chain was taken to School of Instruction and connected with chains from other units. The purpose is to promote Unity amongst all New Mexico units and show how together we can make a difference. We will having regular “chain making” meetings at the Post and encourage each member to participate by keeping a list of all the things you do as a volunteer and then join us at these meetings to include your “links” in our Unit’s portion of the New Mexico American Legion Auxiliary chain.
• School Of Instruction:   This year 7 members attended School of Instruction and we all learned a great deal. Our new Department President is full of enthusiasm and ideas so this should be an exciting and fun-filled year for the Auxiliary.
• 2013 NM Department Convention: Convention this year is from June 27 – June 30.  It should be fun and exciting with our National ALA President, Peggy Thomas, in attendance.
• UPCOMING EVENTS
• Convention Awards Celebration:  We will be holding our annual Awards Celebration at the August general meeting (August 17^th) where we will announce all the awards our Unit won at the State Convention. Please plan to join us – our Unit was very busy this past year and we would like all members to join in the celebration.
• Poppy Distribution: We will be having a “Poppy Distribution” on August 31^st at Wal-Mart and are looking for volunteers. Anyone interested in manning the station for an hour or two please contact Joyce Hudgens or Linda Nenno.
• 2^nd Annual Legion Golf Tournament: The tournament will be held on September 21^st this year. It was a huge success and fundraiser for all the Legion family last year and we have high hopes for this year. We will start obtaining raffle prizes next week and will begin holding 50/50’s at the Post as well as selling raffle tickets for this event
