On Labor Day in Natoma, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 109 hosted free family bingo for free mystery prizes.
Following the annual parade, the American Legion Hall was open for 2 1/2 hours of excitement playing bingo during the annual community celebration.
During the afternoon, the Auxiliary invited the community to support the Fort Dodge Soldiers Home Christmas store for veterans, monetarily and by donating a wide assortment of gift items.
More than 100 veteran residents will shop free of charge for their families and for themselves during the event in December.
A list of needed items can be found posted throughout the town and by checking the Natoma Face Book page.
Auxiliary members continue to provide 22 annual projects through their volunteer efforts for veterans, their families, children, youth, and community.
For information in joining the American Legion Auxiliary, or in helping veterans in the Fort Dodge Soldiers’ Home project, contact Jenjer Murphy, Unit 109 president.
