Shirley Bogdan,
Secretary
The American Legion hall is handicap accessible.
The Auxiliary ladies are busy working
on mini American flags which are sent
to servicemen and women overseas.
Each flag is folded, encased in a
small plastic bag, with a prayer poem
inserted. These mini flags can be
carried in any one of the many pockets of their uniforms.
So far the ladies have folded over 300 flags and they are
working on their second 300. If you have a service person
serving overseas and you would like us to send some flags
to them, please call 781-233-1677 and leave a message.
Your call will be returned as soon as possible.
The ladies' Auxiliary also collects
pop tabs, Betty Crocker coupons,
magazines, old keys, cancelled
stamps, preemie bonnets and
preemie blankets.
You can help by contributing
any of these items.
