Welcome to the Department of Connecticut
WELCOME TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
Hello Ladies,
First and foremost a big thank you to everyone for supporting and entrusting me to be your Department President.
As with every year membership retention and growth are the life blood of the organization. We now have a great opportunity to recruit new members. With the signing of the Legion Act into law by President Trump on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, eligibility has now opened to all service members that have served in the Armed Forces since December 7, 1941 to present day. What a great recruiting tool. We need every members help with this endeavor. If each member signs up one new member we could stop our membership slide and guarantee that we will be around for the next 100 years to continue our service to our veterans, military and their families.
We need to have fun to encourage new members to join and to revitalize our current members. Our Program Information Conference will be held on September 21st at the Calendar House in Southington. Please plan to attend and bring a member from your Unit. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends and reacquaint with others that you have not seen in a while.
You only get to celebrate your 100th Anniversary once so let's make sure this is a year to remember. Celebrate all of the Auxiliary's accomplishments over the last century and make this the start of a stronger, healthier organization for generations to come.
Always smile, it cost nothing and is very contagious.
For God and Country,
Lydia DeGumbia, aka The Road Runner
Department President
