Welcome to the Department of Connecticut
WELCOME TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY |
|
My fellow Auxiliary Members,
Welcome to November and Happy 1100th Anniversary American Legion Auxiliary.
What a privilege it si to belong to the American Legion Auxiliary. As a member we have the honor of supporting our Veterans, Military and their families.
November is a month of celebration and we have so much to celebrate. We begin with our Department Testimonial on November 3rd followed by the American Legion Auxiliary's 100th Anniversary on November 10th. Not many organizations can boast about turning 100, but none can boast about being the largest patriotic organization and that they have been giving back to our Veterans for 100 years. With the new Legion Act and the change in allowing male spouses of female Veterans to become Auxiliary members we have the potential to bring in many new members. What better time to reach out to citizens in our communities and ask them to join us.
Then on November 11th we celebrate Veteran's Day! Remember to thank a veteran and this small act of kindness can make them smile. We then celebrate Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks for all that we have and spend time with our loved ones. Another opportunity to give back with a donation to a food bank or delivering a Thanksgiving plate to a shut-in.
The Friday after Thanksgiving brings us into our Christmas Shops for our Veterans. Much help is needed so please consider joining us. Many hands make light work. More information will be listed under the Department News page.
I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you at one or all of our upcoming events.
For God and Country,
Lydia DeGumbia, aka The Road Runner
