Welcome to the Department of Connecticut
WELCOME TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY |
|
Welcome to February!!!
We are half way through the Administrative year and I would like to thank all the Units that reported their activities so far this year to the Department Chairmen and to the Department Chairmen for reporting to their National Chairmen. For a small state, we make a big difference. Remember, no act is too small or insignificant; many small acts together create a big impact. Recording keeping is from May 1, 2019 through the end of this Administrative year. Keep a record of all your members and Unit in what you donated, volunteered and participated in during this time.
At last Convention the delegates voted not to raise Department Membership dues. In order to keep our organization surviving we must do fundraising. Thank you to all who have already helped support our Department with door prize drawing at PIC, the afternoon with the Medium, Super Bowl Bingo and I hope you will continue to support us as more fundraising events take place.
My goal for presenting quilts for our Quilts of Warmth program is 100 quilts for our 100th Anniversary. Since taking office in July, 77 quilts have been presented to our honored Veterans and active duty Military. Thank you to all who have supported this project. Our next sew date is March 21st at Post 72 in Southington from 9 am to 2 pm. Come on down, not experience is required and you can spend an hour or two or all day.
National President Nicole Clapp will be visiting our state March 27-29. Please see the flyer for her dinner information. All American Legion Family members are invited and encouraged to come on out and give our National President a warm Connecticut welcome.
Always keep our Veterans, Military and their families in your thoughts. Thank a Veteran not just on patriotic holidays but every day.
For God and Country,
Lydia DeGumbia, aka The Road Runner
