American Legion Auxiliary
NATOMA - From humble beginnings in 1919 to the present day, the American Legion Auxiliary continues to serve veterans, their families, children, youth, and community.
Natoma Auxiliary Unit 109 recently elected new officers for the 2023-2024 year: Jenjer Murphy, president, Sheri Beisner, vice-president; Linda Crawford, secretary; Shawna Dunlap, chaplain; Marge Kertz, Sergeant at Arms; Laah Tucker, past president.
Officers pledged to be faithful to God and country in advocating for veterans, educating citizens, mentoring youth, and promoting patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.
The vision of the auxiliary is to support the American Legion while becoming the premier service organization and foundation of every community.
From local initiatives to state and national projects, Unit 109 will continue to provide excellent programs.
In September, the Auxiliary will invite the community to join in a Christmas project for soldiers living in the Fort Dodge Soldiers Home.
American Legion Auxiliary Unit 109, Natoma, continues the legacy of women serving others through a myriad of annual projects.
Membership is open for descendants of fathers, mothers, and grandparents who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces.
