AUXILIARY NEWS (by PRO Kim Nichols)
Well, Summer is almost over and the Fall festivities are about to begin. Save the dates of September 30th for the Auxiliary wine tasting, the sale of Terri Lynn Candy in October and our annual Halloween party the Saturday before Halloween (October 26th)..
Hopefully you were able to make the wine tasting on July 29th. I was told that it was the most attended of all tastings with almost 45 people. Thanks to Karen Draper and Howard Moore for choosing and educating us about some terrific wines.
The events to the Veterans Hospital Nursing Home continue on the first Tuesday of each month. It would be greatly appreciated If you could please help on any of these dates: September 2nd, October 7th or November 4th. It’s only a few hours commitment as we meet at the post at 6:00 and you are back by 8:30 PM. Please see Pat Candelaresi or myself if you are interested in helping.
The Auxiliary will be hosting one more grill out on September 10th. We always need help with preparation and delivering the orders. Thank you for all the ladies who brought food and helped in August: Sherry Knotts, Monie Milazzo, Cathy Pohlman, Jackie Heiert, Lore Breetz, Nancy O’Keefe, Kay O’Keefe, Katie Rehm, Pat Candelaresi and Sharon Stern. (I’m hoping I did not anyone. If I did, I apologize.)
Lastly, thanks to John Krekeler for installing a new toilet in the Women’s restroom!
Please continue to pray for the Troops home and abroad. Keep them, their families and the many veterans who struggle every day in your prayers.
