From the President’s Desk
Lori Fruhwirth, 2024-2025 Department of Alaska President
I hope everyone enjoyed the unusual warm weather we had these pasts months. I know I did. Though… I must say it made traveling around the state an adventure with floods and avalanches.
Just a reminder…the American Legion Auxiliary 103rd Convention will be held In Palmer at Matanuska Valley Post 15, April 23rd – 26th, 2025. Don’t forget to register. Our American Legion Auxiliary National President Trish Ward from Kansas will be honoring us with a 2-hour training session. You don’t want to miss this.
For the first time, we will be awarding a Unit of the year award. Please look for further information from our Department Secretary. Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn when submitting your report.
Other important dates to remember:
April – is the month of the Military Child, remember to purple up for our Military Children on April 15th and American Legion Family Day – April 26th
May – National Poppy Day – May 24th and Memorial Day May – 27th
June – Flag Day – June 14th
As for membership…I am happy to report we have achieved our March 15th deadline of 85% and are currently standing at 86.39%. Our next goal is 95% by May 23rd. We still have aways to go to reach 100%, but I have faith we can achieve our goals.
Congratulations to Dorman H. Baker Unit 11 for having their100 year anniversary last month. I wish for a hundred more.
For God and Country,
Lori Fruhwirth, President
