Greetings all! Activity is buzzing
again in the Auxiliary Corner with
the regular fall schedule going into
effect September 9. However, for
many of our workers, summer sched
ules kept them busy. Our very sin
cere thanks go to the many junior
auxiliary aides. Without their help
the Auxiliary would not have been
able to maintain its services through
the summer vacation months. In
their perky “auxiliary pink” and
white striped pinafores, they brought
a special kind of joy and warmth to
those they served. Our hats are off
to you, and we hope you will continue
the good work.
Some changes also took place while
most of us were vacationing. Mrs.
Walter Seeley submitted her resigna
tion as president effective August 1st.
Taking her place will be Mrs. Theady
Daniel. Mrs. James Warren will be
leaving in November. Taking over
her duties as recording secretary will
be Mrs. William Nicholson. The new
slate of officers for the current year
is: Mrs. Theady Daniel, president;
Mrs. William Nicholson, recording
secretary; Mrs. Glenn Negley, 1st
vice-president; Mjs. Richard H.
Leach, 2nd vice-president. A vacancy
for 3rd vice-president will be filled at
the next regular business meeting Oc
tober 29.
The Ways and Means Committee
has been busy this summer with great
plans for projects this fall. You will
all be glad to know the annual
Thanksgiving Bake sale will be held
again this year. Watch for announce
ments of time and place.
Another project w’hich has already
gotten underway is the United Na
tions’ Christmas Card sale. The
ar
money obtained from this sale will be
retained by the Auxiliary to support
its own projects. The remainder will
go to the United Nations which uses
these funds to purchase drugs and
milk for children around the world.
Look for the Auxiliary Christmas
Booth and buy your Christmas cards
early this year.
Don’t forget, new Auxiliary mem
bers are always welcome.
