The Allen-Schiffern  American Legion Auxiliary Unit 199 held an informal meeting on September 9, 2024, with three members present. Each member gave their hours and money spent on helping veterans for the month of August. Since there was not a quorum, those present went over the upcoming events.

The fall rummage sale will be October 18-19 at the Tarkio Legion Building (3rd and Broad). Take in begins October 7 and goes through the 16th. No take-ins will be allowed on October 17. For more information, call Barb Hines at 660-254-2787, KC Hines at 660-623-9297, or Linda Payton at 660-623-9399. Donations are greatly appreciated!

Members will be cleaning the building right after the rummage sale. More members helping equals less hours members have to work. Who can spare a couple hours?

The annual Legion turkey dinner will be November 3.  Members are looking for ways to cut food costs. Linda and Sheridan will be doing inventory for the Falls City Mercantile and Hy-Vee orders.

Sheridan will be attending the national convention August 23-29 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Linda Kaye declared the meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be October 8, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. in the Legion Building.
