Thanks again to Norbert and Sharon for the great job they did on the Post NewsLetter. And...Get Well Norb!  We miss you at the meetings.

Also…Sandy and I were invited, and attended the 91st Anniversary of The American Legion Birthday Dinner and Awards night, given by Lake Mills Post 67.  It was an honor to be their guest speaker.  The evening consisted of meeting their members, a delicious dinner and recognition of pillars in the community.  Thank you to Post Commander James Zins for the invitation, it was an enjoyable evening.

 Hi Everyone!

     At this time I would like to thank ALL of you who helped in any way for our Spaghetti dinner this past January. It was a big success Thanks to You!! We made a profit of $2,082.09.  This profit was split in half with the Legion receiving $1,041.04 and the Auxiliary receiving $1,041.05.  Without everyone’s help we could not have done this!!  This is what working together is all about.

 DUES
     Just a reminder to those ladies who have not paid your 2010 dues of $16.00 please do so as soon as possible.  We’d like to be at 100% this year.

JOINT MEETING 
     Please note there will be a change of our meeting for the month of April.  We will have a joint meeting with the men on MONDAY, APRIL 19th at 7:00P.M.  (men’s regular time).  There will be a Pot Luck supper after the meetings.  You are asked to please bring a dish to pass—salad, hot dish, desserts etc.  If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 377-4629 any time.

We will NOT have a regular meeting then on that Wednesday this time!
