One of the things I like about the program Sue's auxiliary ladies do is have the local children draw pics thanking them for their service,  The drawing is delivered with their sweats.  What a great way to say thank you and get a smile in return.

Jan, just think that Sue probably doesn't want to give her address out to everyone. Is there a good address to send them to that can be made public? Thanks!

From our President Betty

Betty Meyers Kenny Taylor

Yesterday near Portsmouth

SWEATS FOR VETS for CHRISTMAS. This is a project we do locally. We get all the veterans names from the nursing homes in our local area and sizes. We make a list and post it at the Legion. Members, family, friends and other outside organizations has helped in the past with this project. They adopt a veteran go shopping and returns the gift already wrapped and ready for delivery. On the gift they place a card with the veterans name, nursing home and the size. Then a group from the legion personally delivers the gifts to each veteran. This includes Legionnaires, Auxiliary, SAL,and Legion Riders. This is project is handled by the Auxiliary.

I know that we and our families will be out and about this weekend.  Pick up that set of sweats and get them sent.  Our Vets will be grateful someone took the time to think of them during this holiday season!
