LADIES AUXILIARY NOTES...

"Hello Everyone"

We haven't had much going on this time to talk about. My ladies have been to Mt. Vernon Veterans home twice and really enjoyed visiting with our adopted lady veterans. We will be going again on Thursday, Sept 30th. If you would like to ride with us please call me 890-1848, for more information.

On Sunday, August 8th, we had our Breakfast Brunch, with 100% of the proceeds — $1002.00— donated to the "OZARKS HONOR FLIGHT" . It was a HUGE success. Thank You to "The Veteran's Café, Ron Stacye" for his preparation, cooking time and do­nation of all the food product. Krispy 'Creme, St. Georges Donuts, and LaMars Donuts provided all the nice pastries. Our ladies provided the egg casseroles and fresh fruit. Thanks to ALL that had a hand in "spreading the work—publicity wise". GOOD JOB LADIES 11

VETERAN'S HOME MT. VERNON MISSOURI

By Joye Kane

Space does not permit for the many words needed to describe the lady Veteran's who reside at the Missouri Veteran's Home in Mt. Vernon. The ladies served in the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force. Several were nurses and one was in Supply. They retired with ranks from Buck Private, Corporal, to 2nd. Lieutenant. Birthdates are mostly in the 1920's and their birthplaces range from New York to Springfield, MO. We only had six in attendance as the others were ill or had doctor appointments. Those present were Bertha Johnson, Jeanne B. Daley, Virginia Brown, Helen Knowles and Iva King. Jeanne traveled to several bases to help with the closing when the bases were deactivated at the end of WWII. We served refreshments and visited for two hours. These visits have become a monthly trip and other Auxiliary members who would like to go are welcome. Many of them sew, make the crocheted kitchen, hanging, towels, jewelry, quilts and other crafts. If any of our Post members want to contribute items for these ladies or stamps; just give them to our Commander or to an Auxiliary member. Also, homemade cookies!! We honor the Ladies for serving our Country in time of war!

Join the Auxiliary and visit these wonderful Veterans that served our country. Be at the POST at 9am so to arrive at Mt. Vernon by 10 am on the last Thursday of each month. Next trip is October 28, (November is canceled due to Thanksgiving Holiday), December 20 and the last Thursday of each month in the new year.

Help show them we care!
