🕵️‍♀️ MONDAY NIGHT MYSTERY ANSWERED! 🕵️‍♀️

Did you guess the answer to yesterday’s mystery?

Why is the Riverside Canteen at The McHenry American Legion Post 491 closed every 3rd Monday evening? 🤔

The answer is… because it’s meeting night for the McHenry American Legion Auxiliary Unit 491! 🇺🇸

But who exactly is the American Legion Auxiliary, and what do we do? 💙

The ALA is made up of members who support our veterans, active-duty military, and their families while helping strengthen our local community.

At Unit 491, we:
🇺🇸 Support veterans and military families
❤️ Give back to our community
🎓 Support youth and education programs
🎁 Participate in programs that honor and remember our veterans
🤝 Volunteer at local events and activities
🌟 Work alongside the American Legion to make a difference

And this is just the beginning of our story!

Follow along as we introduce you to who we are, what we do, the people behind Unit 491, and the many ways you can get involved.

You may be surprised by just how much happens behind those closed doors on the 3rd Monday! 😉

Stay tuned… and get to know your McHenry American Legion Auxiliary! 🇺🇸

As National Convention comes to a close, I’m leaving Louisville, KY tomorrow morning with a full heart, new friendships, great memories, and even more inspiration for the year ahead.
There is something pretty special about being surrounded by so many men & women who share the same passion — serving our veterans, supporting their families, and giving back to our communities. ❤️
I’m incredibly proud to be part of the American Legion Auxiliary and especially proud to represent McHenry Unit 491 and our 11th District as President.
Convention may be ending, but our work is just getting started! 🌺
Here’s to another year of Service Not Self, making a difference, and continuing the legacy we are so fortunate to be a part of.
Until next time, Louisville! ❤️🤍💙
Pics to follow soon!!

🌺🇺🇸 For God and Country. 🇺🇸🌺
