Honor veterans with poppies

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY

May is known as Poppy Month throughout the United States. The American Legion Auxiliary Unit in Leisure World has been busy making poppies for over a year and is prepared to supply them for people in the community to wear throughout the month.

These poppies are worn to honor veterans who have lost their lives throughout all wars. People can obtain one from the Auxiliary at stores and different events around Leisure World. The Auxiliary always needs volunteers to help with this project. Call Phyllis Pierce at (562) 598-3743 for more information.

The Auxiliary’s next general meeting will be held in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, on Friday, May 13, at 1:30 p.m. The initiation of new members will take place, and members who have not been initiated or received their Auxiliary pin are encouraged to come. Call Carolyn van Aalst to RSVP at (562) 343-8424.

The election of new officers will also be held at the next meeting. Members are encouraged to volunteer for election to an office or chairmanship. The Auxiliary needs to have these positions filled. Call van Aalst for more information.

Installation of new officers will take place on June 20 at Fiddlers Three, located on the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base.
