Support your club and our troops, Ted Kowalewski Thumbs Up Auxiliary News Thanks to all the ladies who attended the meeting. It is time for elections again and we are looking for people to run for the board. This is a great opportunity to get to know all the members of the auxiliary. All positions are available, so please consider running for one. We are always looking for new members to join the auxiliary. If you are interested, please come to a meeting and we can get you signed up. The auxiliary is another way to support the club. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Janice Johnson on the loss of her mother, and to Diane Veenkamp who also lost her mother. May our thoughts and prayers help them during this difficult time. We will be having a June banquet, and the tickets will go on sale at the April meeting. The cost will be $7.00. Thanks to the ladies for putting this together. Respectfully, Janice Turnquist, President
