What a great way to start your Sunday and remember 9-11 by welcoming Veterans returning from an Honor Flight! We had a 94 year old Korean War Female Veteran and many Vietnam Veterans who we all wanted them to know how much we appreciated them and they service. We had one of our Legion Members participate and can’t wait to hear about his experiences.

The American Legion Auxiliary celebrated the month of May as “Poppy Month”. During the month, Legion Family volunteers distributed poppies in our communities. To assist our youth and their families to understand the story of the poppy in the USA, the Churchville Harvey C. Noone Legion Auxiliary Unit 954 offered a bookmark with the poppy story and held a coloring contest for youth ages 1-16. The Newman Riga Public Library served as a pick-up and drop-off point for the three leveled pages. Others printed off the pages from online to help their children or students participate. We had many excellent entries. We are pleased to announce our winners in three age groups. The first place winner in the Young Patriot group, ages 1-5, is Audrey DeRitis. Third place winner in the Junior Patriot group, ages 6-11, is Zaelyn Musto. Second Place goes to Dakota Beaty, and First Place is Anna Battista. First Place in the Patriot group, ages 12-16 is Sophie Wanck-Kann. Certificates and prizes will be distributed to our winners at the Flag Retirement Ceremony on Flag Day, Tuesday June 14, starting at 7:00 PM at the Post Home, 6444 Buffalo Rd., Churchville, New York. The public is invited to come and participate in this ceremony.
