OMG!!!
What a great time for all of us! The girls made
homemade Veterans Day cards for Patriot House. The theme being, "Service
with a song in our hearts."
Cheryl Estes presided along with Fawn Ellston.
Attendees included Commander Willie Mulkey's granddaughter, Kaitlyn Mulkey; District 12 Auxiliary President, Shay Grannan's
granddaughter, Kaegan Novick; Auxiliary President Debbie Dameron's
granddaughter, Savannah Ellston and Unit 626 Chaplain, Julia Butler’s granddaughter, Angelina Jannise.
The meeting opened with the posting of the
colors and the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Juniors were
reminded that as members of the Auxiliary our
Refreshments included Pepperoni and Cheese
pizzas, Coke, Dr. Pepper and 7-Up. Cupcakes decorated with sour gummy worms
were baked by Shelley Mulkey.
At last count I think the Juniors
had made 50+ cards. The goal is to make 75 cards. I think Mrs. Estes intends to
schedule another meeting for the Juniors prior to the
Veterans Day parade at the Benbrook Post.
The Juniors deserve a
great big "THANK YOU" for attending and taking part in this, the first
ever joint Junior activity and making it such a wonderful success. We are all
so proud to have been a part.
