signs in her town. She later was able to join the Auxiliary, after she married
her husband. She is passionate about our Veterans and loves what the VFW
Auxiliary stands for and does. Her favorite Auxiliary Program is Membership, as
she loves finding new or previous members and ignite the spark about our
organization. She also loves participating in Buddy Poppy Drives and
Fundraisers, where she can meet new people and potential members. She would like
everyone to remember: "Your life is a story; write well; edit often!” She feels
it is an honor to serve her District, our Veterans, their families, and her
communities.
