The Thorp American legion Auxiliary Unit 118 celebrated its 73rd year on Monday, may 3, at the Legion Hall with a potluck dinner and a special program. Diane Weggen, current President of the Legion Auxiliary, addressed the Legion members, thanking them for their years of service, along with handing out certificates for outstanding service from home and from out in the field. In attendance, along with the legion members were the Department’s First Vice President Joan Chwala and the Department Junior Chair Theresa Schindler.

Weggen also gave recognition to all the former Presidents, the current officers, and many specific thanks and awards to members for their time serving the Legion.

Ms. Poppy, Caitlin Rosemeyer, and last year’s Ms. Poppy, Katarina Petranovich, were not only recognized for their service, but they also sang “I’m Proud to be an American,” for all of the Legionnaires. After their performance, Weggen filled the members in on all of the great things that are happening through the Legion, like the latest project, the creation of Camo Quilts.
