About the American Legion Auxiliary

   In this world of ours, the American Legion Auxiliary shines as an example of unselfish giving. With almost a million members from all walks of life, the Auxiliary administers hundreds of volunteer programs, gives tens of thousands of hours to its communities and to veterans, and raises millions of dollars to support its own programs as well as other worthwhile charities familiar to most Americans. It is all accomplished with volunteers.

   The following is a brief description of some of  the volunteer programs the Post 15 Auxiliary is currently involved in"

Girls State
   From our fund raisers during the year we pay for the girls that are juniors in high school to go to girls state. It is a one week "camp" of sorts where they learn about our form of government, from county to national. They can run for office and try to get bills and laws enacted. We meet the girls before they go and have them tell us a little something about themselves and why they want to go, what they expect to get out of it and bring their parents to the meeting. We invite all the girls back in the fall to tell us what they did learn and what they got out of going. Some of the girls that attend girls state also participate in the post oratorical contests.

Poppies
   Unit 15 purchases the poppies to distribute during May, which is poppy month, for a donation. The poppies are made by veterans and all money raised goes back to veteran's rehabilitation.
