The meeting was held in accordance with the short form ritual. Reports were made by the chairmen. Membership chairwoman Marcia Petersen noted there are some delinquent members who will lose their eligibility to our cancer grant if not paid soon. Actually dues are also being collected for the 2014-15 auxiliary year, $13 for continuous members and $15 for any new member. Marcia has the application forms, call 507-373-8673. Treasurer Lynda Vermedahl also has applications and will accept dues and payments at 507-852-2855 or mailed to 216 E. Main St., Twin Lakes, MN 56089.
The charter was draped for deceased sisters Agnes Dolmetsch, Charlotte Johnsrud and Eileen Schmitz. Bless their memory.
In June installation of officers for 2015 was conducted with past president Petersen as installing officer. Installed officers were: Camerer, president; Petersen, senior vice president; Vickie Westing, junior vice president; Vermedahl, secretary-treasurer; Ruby Fredrickson, chaplain; Eunice Hatleli, trustee; Petersen, trustee; Ruby Frederickson, trustee; Betty Jones, conductress, and Hatleli, guard. All are repeat officers. Members are asked to get involved, as they are working for veterans.
The cookie bake took place at the Moose Club for the REACT Club South I-35 rest stop. Due to unforeseen circumstances the cookies will be served Labor Day weekend rather than the Fourth of July.
President Camerer and chairwoman Marilyn Danielson presented Patriots Pen awards at Southwest Middle School.
Cannon Falls VFW Post and Auxiliary 4452 hosted the First District VFW 2014-15 organizational meeting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Cannon Falls. First District Commander Bill Murphy met with members at the Post home, 218 Fourth St., and Auxiliary President Cheryl Hermanson met with Auxiliary members across the street at the Public Safety building.
A coffee party is being planned rather than a noon lunch for the membership roundup. Watch for times and other details. Cancer pins will be sold at that time. The old pins will be discounted in price.
Bring Campbell coupons and milk coupons to the meeting.
The meeting closed in regular form. Petersen won the door prize and the post members served lunch.
The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Legion hall.
