Auxiliary Unit 283 brings home the holidays

This December, members of the Auxiliary hosted Veterans for a catered holiday luncheon at which the brass band Palisades Charter High School treated everyone to music. No holiday party would be complete without presents, so, of course, the Auxiliary presented attendees with holiday gifts.

The Auxiliary also partnered with Wreaths Across America to place wreaths on headstones of our nation’s service members and we donated to a toy drive for foster children who attend an annual holiday lunch at our local Vittorio’s Ristorante in Pacific Palisades.

Tuesday morning exercise with Carlos will continue on January 2, and every Tuesday thereafter, with cardio, balance, stretch and resistance exercises to with music. The class is open to all members of the legion family, both men and women, and is free. Just be sure to register on the legion website in advance.

I hope everyone will join us for one or more of the following activities in January:
