Ladies Auxiliary Officers for 2002 were chosen in April, and were le gally under oath during the same month. Newly elected State of Oregon President Judy Jackson officiated.

To date the local Auxil iary has paid all national, state and district dues, as well as the treasurer's bond, call ing cards for our loved ones who are presently in the ser vices, cancer and hospital in surance for all our member ship. Also, we have donated $300 toward the Eyerly firefighters for bottled water and antiseptic moist towclcttcs. Good job, fund raisers. During the 2001 veterans nationally recognized day, the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary and Post were in a dilemma. We had no place to serve our annual veterans dinner, and host a program to recognize our soldiers who answered the call to defend our coun try. It was during this same time my dear friend and rela tive Nina Rowe's funeral was happening. I opted to cook for the veterans honor din ner. I told my good friend and sister Nina, "I'm glad I was forever here for you dur ing your difficult time, go in peace sister." There will be tradi tional story telling, a fine art market spon sored by Indian Art Northwest, traditional arts and crafts demon strations, tribal danc ing and drumming. 10 p.m., and includes the fol lowing performers: Obo Addy, Jim Basnight, Native Roots, Bobby Torres, Charmaine Neville.

The award ceremony will hap pen on the main stage. ' I want to especially thank Austin Greene for preparing the community center for our dinner, parade-in and the program. We realize it took hard work to arrange the gym for this event. We also know Austin was honoring his fa ther and uncles who served in the wars. A big thank-you is better late than never, Aus tin. We also want to thank the members of the Shaker Church for allowing us to cook at the church, and to all the labor that was endless for this event. It has been brought to our attention through the na tional headquarters that many of our veterans do not have completed discharge dates that coincide with the national headquarters' records, according to the in formation taken from an ar ticle from the Madras Pio neer. In order for you to re ceive the benefits or honors due you, we would like to have your records of what branch you were in. Information would in clude entry dates and dis charge dates, as well as which years and countries you were in. We do not intend to over look any veterans who are due the recognition that vet erans deserve. I would also like to en courage all our members to make an effort to be present at our monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month. The trustees need to get together and audit the treasurer's books, and the secretary's records. Future planning include auction sales, luncheons and a big flea market to go toward the Honor Monument for our veterans, which will be lo cated near The Museum at Warm Springs.
