Congratulations to our own Claudia Thompson on her election to Amvets Department of Florida Auxiliary Sergeant at Arms! She was also given an award from Amvets Department of Florida Auxiliary for Perfect Attendance SEC. Thank you for all you do Claudia.
Hosted by our Child Welfare Chairperson, all proceeds will benefit local school children.
We will be collecting CLEAR backpacks an school supplies to be donated to Beverly Shores Elementary School. Donations may also be dropped off in advance.
The Auxiliary’s Community Service Chairwoman is working with the Leesburg Food Pantry to collect needed items each month. This month, September, they have requested canned goods, though they have plenty of corn and beans.
Volunteer forms are located in the back, to the left of the bar. Please fill out a form for all donations so the Auxiliary can report it to the state Auxiliary.

Please join the AmVets Ladies Auxiliary Post 2006 in a BAKELESS BAKE SALE.
You are invited to NOT bake a cake, pie, cookies, or brownies. You do NOT have to find the recipe. You do NOT have to shop for the ingredients. You do NOT have to mix. You do NOT have to cook. You do NOT have to cut. You do NOT have to wrap. You do NOT have to wash dishes. You do NOT have to clean up your kitchen. You do NOT have to deliver the baked product. You do NOT have to stand in the heat/cold/rain to sell the baked product.
