Auxiliary News
Greetings one and all … This month we held an election of officers, kind of hard to do with only four ladies attending meetings and those four already hold offices, but we all agreed to take on our same office for the coming year. We will have to go with rotating Presidents again this year as we will not have a permanent President or Vice President, Joanne Ostlund will be Secretary, Linda Liebenow will be Treasurer, Carol Breidenbach will continue as Sgt-at-Arms and Kathy Jones will again be Chaplain. It would be nice if we had more help, especially since we have 44 paid members.
Good news is we have had 3 Post members volunteer to help with the distribution of poppies this year. Thank you, Lynn Hamm, Mike True and Erik Jensen who volunteered to help for two days. Kathy Jones and Joanne Ostlund were the only Unit members, so we have only done this on Saturdays for 3 hours. Linda Liebenow has been a great help with the mailing of poppies this year. She has printed letters, gotten us to stuff envelopes, only about 40 of them so far, and she has gotten all the mailing information from the post office so we can mail the poppies this year. The post office would not let us send out poppies last year. Remember that the monies brought in is what lets us be more help to the Veterans and their families through our auxiliary programs.
We will be looking forward to the Memorial Day programs, the Fourth of July Activities and of course The North Plains Garlic Festival with the roasted corn booth. Although we do not have monthly meetings during July and August we will still be participating in other activities. Keep up with us in the monthly calendars in the newsletter.
Call Joanne Ostlund at 503-407-7405 and sign up. Thank you as this
helps support our Auxiliary projects for our Veterans.

Unit Secretary
