Kudos to These New Hyde Park Merchants - Worthy of Your Patronage

Kudos to These Merchants - Worthy of Your Patronage!

I think we can all agree - we owe so much to our veterans and we could never repay them for their sacrifice! It was in that spirit that I joined the American Legion Auxiliary to somehow "pay it back."

Recently, I visited various merchants in my neighborhood with regard to two fundraisers which were being presented by the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 44 in Malverne, New York. One was a country western night on September 25, and the other their annual Halloween Party on October 30. The purpose of these events was to help the veterans to fund repairs to their building and to support veterans programs.

To the following merchants who greeted me with a smile and warm spirit of wanting to "give back" to our veterans, I say, "On behalf of the American Legion Auxiliary, I'd like to publicly thank you for supporting our efforts by donating delicious food for these fundraisers:
