Oneida County Auxiliary Meeting

Barb Atkyns, Kathy Pare' and Becky Maggio attended

the County meeting at Leon Roberts Post 161 in

Holland Patent on Saturday.

Becky along with Virginia Graveline and Bobbie Owen

judge Poppy Posters. Our unit had no submission this year.

Something to plan on doing next year.

Becky models a winning Poppy hat made by one

of the senior members. The winners will be sent to

department for judging on that level.

Also headed to Department is our Unit #92

Public Relations book that was put together

by Becky Maggio. She did a fantastic job on it.

Last year her book went all the way

to the National level.

It was also noted at the meeting that some

members have been receiving phone calls

soliciting monetary donations for the

American Legion. If you receive such a call,

hang up!! The American Legion does not use

phone solicitation as a means to raise money.
