I delivered two American Legion Auxiliary Unit 81 Appreciation Certificates today. One to Aubreys for letting us host a pancake breakfast the last 8 years, which is one of our biggest money makers each year. They supply all the food and drinks at no charge.

The other was to Sun Paper and Janitorial supplies who for many years has donated paper products for all of our Veteran days luncheon and Veteran events that we may sponsor a meal or lunch.
