Welcome to the Department of Connecticut
WELCOME TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY |
|
Happy New Year!!!
I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday with your loved ones and friends. I want to thank all those who took time out of their busy holidays to help with the Christmas Shops for our Veterans and those who came to help distribute Christmas gifts to our hospitalized Veterans. It is always amazing to see the joy on their faces.
January is a busy month! An afternoon with Medium Karen Kilmartin is on the 19th. Then January 25 is our Mid-Winter Conference which is a great opportunity to reconnect with your fellow Auxiliary members and to learn a few new things. Why not make it a full weekend of fun and some relaxation. The Legion Hall of Fame dinner will be held Saturday evening. Flyers for all these events can be found on the "News Pages" of this website.
Mission Training 201 is going to be held in Hartford on March 14th and it is a great opportunity for all members to learn more about our programs. You can sign up on the National website, alaforveterans.org.
National President Nicole Clapp will be visiting the Department on March 28-30th. Please save the date of March 29 as we will be celebrating her visit and our 100th Anniversary of the American Legion Auxiliary.
I want to thank you all for all that you do for our Veterans, Military and their families and in your communities. The Auxiliary has been around for 100 years and it is because of members like you. Please keep up the good work and hopefully the next generation will be celebrating the 200th Anniversary of service in 2119-2120.
For God and Country,
