Welcome to the Department of Connecticut
WELCOME TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY |
|
A Community of Volunteers Serving Veterans, Military and their Families.
Happy March,
Spring is truly around the corner and we have a few very busy months ahead of us starting with the Juniors Meeting on the 7th. All officers and Department Chairmen are invited and encouraged to attend. How can we mentor the leaders of tomorrow if we don't show up at their meetings.
March 14 is Mission Training 201. This is being held in Rocky Hill at the Sheraton hotel. Registration includes breakfast, lunch and all your training materials. Our National Organization works really hard to set up these training sessions to help us succeed in carrying out our mission. And we get to reconnect with friends from other states and make new friends. Go to ALAforVeterans.org and register.
The 21st is a full day of Legion Family activities. Post 72 is hosting another day of sewing quilts for our Quilts of Warmth project. We are so close to finishing 100 quilts. It doesn't matter if you can sew or not, we have lots of think for everyone to do. Later in the day is the Legion Family Bowling Tournament. What better way to spend a Saturday.
March 27-29 we have a very special lady visiting Connecticut, National President Nicole Clapp. Nicole is the 100th National President of the American Legion Auxiliary. Come and celebrate the 100th Anniversary on Saturday the 28th at Post 72 in Southington. The flyer is attached in the the Auxiliare newsletter and on this website.
Thank you all who attended the Super Bowl Sunday bingo. It was another great success. We are well on our way to raising this year's budget thanks to all of you. We still have a ways to go and we still need your help. No organization can run without the support of its members and ours is no different. So please let's work together so that we have the funds to continue carrying out our mission of service to our Veterans, Military and their families.
For God and Country,
