American Legion Auxiliary Membership
Membership is a very important part of the Auxiliary. When we began our Unit six years ago we had eleven members. I'm proud to say we now have forty-seven members. We are all working hard at increasing our membership because that enables us to do more for our Veterans, Military, Children and Youth and the Community.
We received 100% of our membership quota by October 1, 2013. This made us eligible for a Foundation Day Award from the Department of New York. We were granted the Foundation Day Award of $100.00.
