American Legion Auxiliary-Unit 101 to Return to Somers in July, 2013!

The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) is returning to Somers!

Area residents expressed a strong interest in bringing the ALA back to support the programs of The American Legion as well as to support a variety of initiatives in our local schools and community.

The mission of the ALA is to support and advocate for veterans, active military and their families; to foster patriotism and responsible citizenship; to award scholarships and promote quality education and literacy; to provide educational and leadership opportunities that uphold the ideals of freedom and democracy and encourage good citizenship and patriotism in government; to increase our capacity to deliver our Mission by providing meaningful volunteer opportunities within our communities; to empower our membership to achieve personal fulfillment through Service Not Self.

If you are interested in joining the ALA, you must be a female veteran or the wife, mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, grandmother, great grandmother (step-relations included) of an active duty service member or veteran who served honorably during U.S. wartime periods: WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Persian Gulf, or since August 1, 1990 to present.
