American Legion Auxiliary Post 62

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY POST 62 -- (Senate - November 02, 2005)

Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to honor the ladies of American Legion Auxiliary Post 62 from Humboldt, SD. These ladies ranging from 60 to 80 years of age have not only been active supporters of our young men and women serving abroad but have dedicated themselves to providing support for their community and Nation.

This small group of dedicated members holds an annual fundraiser where this year they raised a considerable sum. The ladies of Post 62 were able to give an average of $150 to the following organizations: the West Central FFA, the Community Club Fund, the Volunteer Fire Department, Buddy Walk, the Special Olympics, and the Creative Arts Festival for Veterans. In addition to donating to this long list of charitable organizations they also purchased new dictionaries for all third graders in South Dakota's West Central School District.

I am proud to highlight the accomplishments made by the Ladies of Post 62 in Humboldt, SD, and I gladly congratulate them on their many and generous contributions to the State of South Dakota and to our Nation.
