Our Honor Guard goes out in heat, rain, snow and freezing cold to give final honors to our fallen Veterans. They do this because they want to, not because they have to. This past Wednesday they were honored with a delicious pork chop dinner at VFW in Fremont. They were also each gifted a gas card. Thank you so much to all that prepared the meal, served, cleaned up and all behind the scene duties. It was greatly appreciated.

May you have many treats and just a few tricks ☺️

AUXILIARY NEWS

We had 14 members at our October meeting. We are growing monthly. If you are interested in joining please reach out and we will get you an application. We raise money for our Military and Veterans and have a great time doing it.

We donated money to retired teachers so they can purchase scholastic books for students that would otherwise not be able to get them. We also donated money to both the fundraiser for Officer Kisha and the Kerrigan family. We purchased 2 first aid kits for the Legion. We donated hygiene products to 1 of the schools in Sandusky County along with school supplies at the beginning of the school year for another school.

We had our annual garage sale October 23-24 and had a great turn out. We had a full house with vendors and a great crowd of buyers.

We hosted a dinner on September 30th for our local National Sojourners group which is any Veteran that is also a member of the Masonic Lodge. The menu was roast beef, mashed potatoes, Harvard beets, corn, pea salad, pasta salad, sourdough bread and pie.

Saturday October 31st we are having trunk or treat at the Legion along with Gibsonburg Community Corporation from 6-7:30. We are hoping to see all the local ghost and goblins as we have a lot of candy and also some goodies for our adult visitors.

Our next meeting is Wednesday November 4th at 4:30. If you would like to attend to see what we are all about we would love to have you.
