Per Marilyn:

Our meeting this month on May 11th at 11:30am will be held at the American Legion hall. We will need to go in the back door as they are still working on the front part of the building. I'll bring pizza for lunch if everyone could bring their own drinks.

April: Month of the Military Child and Purple Up! Day
Military children face unique challenges and make sacrifices. To recognize this, April is designated as the Month of the Military Child ( ).

Purple Up! Day – April 15 this year – is part of the monthlong celebration. To show support for military children and raise awareness about their sacrifices, people wear purple on this special day. Purple symbolizes a combination of the colors of each branch of the U.S. military: Army green, Navy blue, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue.

The Valentine's Day Purse Drawing has been rescheduled for Sunday, Feb 21st at 2 p.m. It will be live on this page from the American Legion Auxiliary Unit Meering Room at the American Legion Post located at 1402 E Santa Rosa Street, Victoria, TX.

Winners will be contacted after the drawing starting Sunday afternoon through Tuesday to make arrangements to drop off the purses.

Again, we thank our sponsors, donors, and those who have continued to support the Unit in what has become extremely unusual times.

We could not endure if not for your generosity.

Unit 166 deeply regrets having to postpone the Valentine's Day Purse Drawing today. There is ice on the bridges making it unsafe for travel by our officers to come in.

Who would have thought Puxotawni Phil would predict a Force Majeure in South Texas like this?!?

As soon as South Texas unthaws from this freeze, we will hold the drawing. Thank you to our supporters and for your understanding in this matter.

From 9th District Junior Activities Chairman:

After much consideration with our current COVID restrictions and trying to keep everyone safe and healthy, I have decided we will not hold our 9th District Junior Meeting this year. It is more important to keep these girls healthy and in school.

Any questions, please let me know. We will keep our current officers for this next year and pray that things are back to normal for the next one.

I hope everyone understands and hope to see you all soon!!!

Unit members are working hard to ensure that all veterans laid to rest at several cemeteries are honored next December 18th on National Wreaths Across America Day.

Now through January 13, 2021, any wreaths sponsorships received through the American Legion Auxiliary Leon A. Zear Unit 166 (TX0814P) sponsorship group will be matched by Wreaths Across America.

This means if you opt to sponsor 1 wreath for $15, you get a second wreath free!

Here is the direct link for online: https://wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/162527/Overview/?relatedId=162539

Chose the cemetery of your choice on the drop down menu. If your cemetery is not on the list, select Glendale and let an Executive Officer know that you will pick up your wreath.

Wreaths are delivered around Dec 15th and you will be contacted when the wreaths arrive.
