Let’s Make Something Great Together
There’s something special about showing up. About walking into a room full of familiar faces (and a few new ones), sharing a laugh, and realizing you’re part of something bigger than your everyday routine.
That’s what Auxiliary gatherings are all about — connection, fun, and the simple joy of being together. We meet the first Saturday of every month in the Hall at 10 am.
It’s our regular time to catch up, share ideas, and keep the good energy flowing.
Whether you’ve been coming for years or you’re thinking about joining for the first time, you’re welcome. Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. Have some fun.
This is your chance to shape the day and make it something everyone looks forward to. Drop your suggestions at our next first-Saturday meeting or reach out to the planning team. The more voices, the better the event.
Over the years, The American Legion Family has influenced considerable social change in America, won hundreds of benefits for veterans, helped military families through transition and produced many important programs for our country’s youth.
Today, ALA members across the country are helping military families cope with the effects of multiple deployments. The toll on our all-volunteer force and their families has been enormous. The Auxiliary’s efforts are focused in three primary areas:
- Veterans/Military Support & Advocacy
- Family Support
- Youth Development
Your Auxiliary President, Joyce Wood.
