Ladies Auxiliary of the Alabama Society of the Sons of the American Revolution March 1, 2008
Treasurer Rita Pickette , Secretary Linda Maples, Vice President Abby Alexander, President Leanne Cornwell Thank you all for a very successful 2007-2008 State Convention in Huntsville.
I am in awe of all the support for the basket door prizes. I was expecting a few baskets, max of 5. I’m sure you can imagine how blown away I was when we had 13 door prizes to give away. We raised over $500 for the National Ladies Auxiliary. I will be taking a check to give the National Ladies Auxiliary in July at the Congress in Sacramento, California. This is in lieu of baskets that are taken and auctioned off at the congress. Thanks also go to David Sympson who auctioned off his basket adding $150 to the amount we had already raised.
I was proud to represent the Ladies Auxiliary by giving the Alabama Society SAR a check for $1000 to put toward its youth programs. Isn’t it amazing, that in only one year we were able to raise so much money for the Alabama Society SAR.
During the Saturday evening banquet special recognition went to Suzanne McGaughy for her outstanding job as Secretary, Gwen Dockery for her faith and love as our Chaplain, Hilda Posey for her never ending enthusiasm and encouragement, to Rita Pickette for always being there for me during the organizational period, and Hazel Phillips for her artistic ability in keeping a historical record of our activities. Although time did not permit for me to recognize personally each and every member of the Ladies Auxiliary, please know that you are truly appreciated.
As a reminder, it is time to renew our annual dues. The cost remains the same as last year, $5.00. You can click on the web site link and print off the application.
Our next meeting will be May 17, 2008. More information about location and food preparation will be e-mailed to all members closer to the event.
