6.  MEMBERSHIP:  I feel like a broken record, but we are struggling in membership.  For each member we lose, a smile and helping hand is taken from the Veterans that need us the most.  We lose an additional member to join us at our monthly hospital visits, bingo parties, and so much more.  Please reach out and bring new members into your Auxiliary.  Make a phone call and bring a member back to our meetings.  We each know the important work we do!  Let’s reach out and let others know about us.

To those who are ill we extend our best wishes for a Speedy Recovery.  To those who have lost loved ones we extend our deepest sympathies.

Loyally,

Patricia A Potter
Supreme President
