Auxiliary Corner - November 2025
Happy Fall Everyone!
Fall is off to a busy start within our Legion Family! The Halloween event was a huge success! It was fun to be part of such an important event! Thank you to our members and everyone that volunteered your time! Another successful event from Legion Family Post 574!
We ended October with 70% membership paid. Please get your memberships in. We are heading into a busy time and there will be plenty of things to do. We could use all the volunteers we can.
We still need volunteers for Friday nights in the Bingo Kitchen. A HUGE thank you to all of you who have volunteered to work the kitchen. I appreciate your dedication to our Auxiliary more than you know!
Now on to November. This month is quite busy for the Auxiliary. Our meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 5th due to election day being on Tuesday.

PHEW!
Thank you to ALL of our members for everything you do! It makes me proud of all of you who have stepped up to volunteer, initiate ideas, create unit level programs and just supporting our veterans. It is because of all of you that we have such a wonderful Auxiliary that we can be proud of and I thank each of you!
Sincerely,
Julie Montello, President Unit 574
