The Auxiliary monthly meeting will be starting back
up in September. We usually meet on the first Thursday of each month starting @ 6pm. This year we decided since the first Thursday is September 1st, starting the Labor Day weekend, that it would be best to
have our meeting for this one time on the second
Thursday, September 8th @ 6pm. Please join us on
the 8th!
Live The Auxiliary Motto- “Service not Self!”
