Auxiliary Vice President- Linda Nenno
Even though February was a short month, the Auxiliary was really busy, as usual. Many of us attended the Super Bowl party, and had a good time.
We hosted 8 Veterans for a beef stew/cornbread dinner on the 4th. It seemed like they stayed later to dance and sing this month.
9 of us attended the Mid-Year conference in Albuquerque, where we got to meet and visit with the National President, Janet Jefford. It was great to see our Unit so well represented. Department Commander, Paul Espinoza held his homecoming celebration that weekend also.
We had a very nice turnout for Bunco on the 12th. Some new faces and we filled 4 tables. It is always fun, so come join us, and bring your friends. You do not have to be a member to play.
We had a record amount of baked goods at our Valentine Day bake sale. We made around $270. Thank you to all the bakers, workers and especially the buyers. Everything was decorated for the holiday, and the table looked great. Our Valentine dinner that night was also a success, serving 80+ meals. Thanks to Deone Harty and Linde Polstin for manning the photo booth.
The Legion auction on the 21st was well attended. Thank you to everyone who donated items for this event, and to those who came and spent your money. We had a lot more items than we expected, and the auction went on for 2 hours, and everything sold. The Soup supper on Sunday, the 22nd, was also a success with 10 soups to choose from. Thank you everyone.

Care Packages and Cell Phones: Marty Novak
We sent 24 Care Packages in February. 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 and donations of supplies to help us keep this project going. Thank you all. We are working hard to keep this project going. If you can help with any donation, it will be much appreciated.
Anyone is welcome to join us for Care Packages. It’s a lot of fun. Our next Care Package packing day is March 11. 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. 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..
