Auxiliary- President- Linda Nenno
May seemed to pass pretty quickly. Maybe that’s because we were so busy. We decorated a Legion Family golf cart for the Fiesta Parade. Officers from the Legion, Auxiliary, SAL and Legion Riders, plus one Jr. Auxiliary member and a great-granddaughter rode in the cart. Thank you to those who helped decorate and participated.
Our monthly Veteran’s dinner was a success. It’s great to see the Veterans dancing in their wheelchairs. We always enjoy hosting them.
Our May bake sale had some extra special items for Mother’s Day. We made $188 on the bake/book sale. Thanks to those who baked and purchased.
We didn’t have enough players for Bunco on the 14th, but those of us who showed up had a great taco salad for lunch and enjoyed margaritas and visiting.
We held our election of officers on May 16, at our general membership meeting. Those elected by acclimation were: Linda Nenno, President; Cyndi Wipf, V.President; Ginny Lucero, Secretary; Sandy Squier, Treasurer; Sharon Pierson, Historian; Linda Ross, Chaplain; Johanna Roberts, Sgt. at Arms; Linda Ross, Parliamentarian.
Our poppy drive Memorial Day weekend was a success despite the wind. We raised $1500 for our Veterans and their families. Memorial Day ceremonies were beautiful as usual. Thank you to all who participated in both events. We couldn’t do these things without your help.

Auxiliary Membership Report-Linda Nenno
Thanks to all of you who have renewed your membership and brought in new members. We have reached 89% of our final goal. I’m sad to report we will not make our goal of 100% this year. We will receive our 2016 cards at State Convention in late June, so we’ll be starting Early Bird renewals in July.

A Flag Day Prayer: Oh God, we thank Thee for the Flag of our Country and for all that our flag represents. We thank Thee for giving the victory to brave and valiant men and women who have given their last measure of strength in order that it might wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave. We thank Thee for giving us the ideals of faith, and liberty, for preserving the sanctity of our homes and freedom of worship. Grant that this Union of Sovereign States may remain forever an indissoluble Union flying the same Flag. Amen

Care packages-Cell phones for soldiers-Marty Novak
Care packages
We sent 28 Care Packages in May. Thanks to all who came to help pack. These Care Packages mean so much to the Troops who receive them. Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us, to the members, non-members, groups, organizations and businesses of our community for their monetary donations, memorials, donations of supplies to help keep this project going. Thank you all.
It’s that time of the year again when it starts getting really hot over there. Anyone willing to make neck coolers to add to our Care Packages is certainly appreciated. I have the pattern if you need it and also have some of the water storing crystals to go inside the neck cooler. Call 744-4539 or email novaks@windstream.net if you would like to help.
Our winter people have gone back home leaving us with less help packing the boxes. Anyone is welcome to come help with the packing. It’s a lot of fun. Our next packing day is June 10. We arrive about 10:30 to start arranging the supplies and start packing shortly after that. It takes about an hour to finish.
CELL PHONES FOR SOLDIERS
We are still collecting used cell phones. Silver City Post 18 brought us another box of cell phones for recycling. Thank you, Silver City. These are sent for recycling and provide calling cards for our Troops. There is a collection container in the entry way of the Post.
What is a Veteran: A Veteran…whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve…is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his/her life.” That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that act..
