We are part of the nation’s most prominent supporters of veterans, military, and their families.
Welcome, to the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 598
Making a Difference while having Fun
As we wrap up the 2024–2025 year this Spring, I have one word for our board members and volunteers: WOW! Your energy, talent, and good vibes helped us break records like never before—our membership is booming, and fundraising hit a jaw-dropping high.
Thanks to your superhero-level efforts, over $52,000 has gone out to support an incredible lineup of causes. (Yep, you’ve been doing that much good!) The bar for 2025-2026 is sky-high—and we’re ready to leap over it with your help.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to jump in and volunteer, this is it. Let’s roll up our sleeves, rally the crew, and keep the magic going. The future’s bright—and we want YOU in it. LEARN MORE

President's Corner
Red, White, and Giggles Your big hearts and helping hands make a real impact, and have a blast doing it. This Fall marks a record-setting season at Post 598 with more volunteer hours logged than ever before. Yes, the work can be hard, but together we laugh, we dance, and sometimes we giggle until our cheeks hurt.
Why Volunteer? Make lifelong friendships. Feel the joy of giving back. Join a legacy of service that truly changes lives.
So how about some wine, some lunch, and a dance party with a purpose? Yes, please! It all kicks off with our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year: Girls Just Want to Have Fun returns Saturday, September 20, and we’re pulling out all the stops. From mouthwatering gift cards to themed baskets that’ll make you squeal with delight; the raffle lineup alone is worth the ticket.
Grab your crew and head to ALA598.Org where tickets are flying! Be sure to reserve yours before Sunday, September 14 to be part of the celebration supporting homeless women veterans. HATS OFF! To White Allen and Howerton Plumbing for their continued sponsorship for all 6 years of GJWTHF.
But we’re not done giggling yet… Euchre Tournament. A fun-filled day for seasoned players and rookies alike. Quarter Auction. Try your luck, one shiny coin at a time. Halloween Bash. Live music and a Big Beautiful Burrito Bar that’ll spice up your spooky season.
There’s no better time to volunteer, reconnect, and help us keep the good going. Whether you’re a longtime legend or a first-time helper, we thank you from the bottom of our giggling hearts.
Together we serve. Together we laugh. And together we make 598 shine brighter than ever.
