Becky addressed change in by-laws. Current by-laws state meetings are to be held on every other Monday of the month and that will change to every other Wednesday.
Becky visited the activities’ director, Nicole, at Majestic. At her suggestion, we will purchase boxes of candy, along with a card, for Veterans Day gifts. These will be taken over on November 9 in the morning. Christmas gifts will be the gift sets we have done in the past. We are hoping to have a Christmas “party”. We will do this on December 20. The staff at Majestic would like to do haircuts again if they can find someone to do them.
For the VA hospital, we will bring food items to donate to the food pantry. Items will be collected at the November 15 meeting.
The next Fourth District meeting is October 8. There will be a Chinese auction. Becky will purchase a Wal-Mart gift card of $25.00 to donate for the auction.
Becky went to a memorial service on August 26 for longtime member Virginia Howell who passed away earlier in the summer.
The Legionnaires will be meeting back at the Moose Lodge in New Haven in October. There is no progress in finding a new location. They meet the second Tuesday of each month. The Executive meeting is at 6:15 with the regular meeting at 7:00. All members of the Legion are welcome to attend.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting. Andrea closed with prayer.
Respectfully Submitted,
Marilyn Herman, Secretary
