AUXILIARY MARCH EVENTS
• Blue Star Banners: This month we happily presented Mae Benjamin with a three (3) star Blue Star banner in honor of her son Ronald E. Wilson, her grandson Michael B. Wilson and her granddaughter Kylah Wilson.
• Tent City Veterans: A couple of Unit 44 members made the trip to Las Cruces on March 2nd with American Legion Riders from all over the state of New Mexico to visit the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, where several veterans are living in a “tent city”. The Riders took these veterans to a local Wal-Mart and purchased clothing and a pair of boots for each of them. The Community of Hope works with these veterans and other homeless persons and families to provide them with shelter and food and to help reintegrate them into society. Further information will be forthcoming in the next newsletter and at the April meeting.

It was so successful we hope to host another one this fall. Thanks to all of you who baked potatoes or provided the wonderful toppings for them as well as those who baked for the cake walk. A special thanks to Linda Nenno for doing such a great job on the logistics of it all.
