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

Volunteerism – Many of you would love to serve and are just waiting to be asked. So we are asking! Members, new and old, are encouraged to make a difference. We rely on the volunteerism of members like you.
Just recently we had the best Volunteer Appreciation Dinner Ever! What a great success with a huge turnout. Congratulations to the whole Dinner Team. It was nice to hear from the different branches of the Legion (All for One, One for All) as they boasted so many accomplishments. So many, in fact, that it is hard to keep track of everything we achieved over the last year! I would like to echo some of the groups that Janet Kennedy, our new 2nd Vice, listed at the dinner. Blue Star Mothers, Quilts of Valor, Holiday Food Baskets, Member Wakes & Funerals, Disaster Victims, Dayton VA, the Fisher House, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Toys for Tots, T2T, Honor Flight, Buckeye Girls State, Kids Parties and so many more.
Still to be mentioned is a very special Legion event. ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ will be celebrating their 6th Anniversary on September 20 with over 600 in attendance and the largest group of VOLUNTEERS ever assembled at our Legion. In the last 5 years it has supported a long list of veteran and military charities with a staggering and
unprecedented amount of $100,000 in cash donations. It takes more than 100
volunteers, from all branches of the Legion, working together for one great cause. This
is a perfect example of what I have been preaching since I took office in 2021 –
Auxiliary + SAL + Legion + Riders = Greatness!
Your support and donation of time is not only vital to the strength of our Auxiliary, but it is also good for your health, your personal satisfaction, and it offers a chance to have
fun and make long lasting relationships. Like me, you just might make some new
friends.
