Saunders Elected State VEFW Auxiliary President
Sandpoint VFW Post and auxiliary members returned from the State Convention in Boise with multiple awards. Auxiliary member Dorothy Saunders was elected State Auxiliary President, Peggy Clark S. Vice President. A homecoming party is planned for Saunders on Saturday July 24 at the Post Home at 6 p.m. Members participated in the Lions Club Fourth of July parade and presented a flag to Darrel Gustavson who will take it to Sweden. The group sent cash donations to the Bill Hoffman hearing aid fund, Sandpoint Community Float fund, and Rexburg Idaho VFW Post and Auxiliary for flood relief. Three Posts and two Aux members visited Spokane V A Hospital for Buddy Night, aiding patients with bingo, sandwiches, coffee and pickles. Retiring Aux President Arlene Smith received gifts and a president's plaque. Past President Florance Wilson presented a Life Membership to the National Children's Home in Eaton Rapids Michigan. The gavel was turned over to new Sandpoint Auxiliary President Alice Lacey. The Auxiliary plans a Birthday Jar and birthday song at upcoming meetings. Next Post and Aux meeting is July 21 at 8:00 PM.
