Ladies Auxiliary News

Joyous moments to all my auxiliary sisters.  Great turn out last meeting, let's invite more members to come with you.  Please remember to pay your annual dues.  I know we can meet our goal.  On Sept. 18, Sikeston VFW will be hosting "Hands Across Sikeston".  I plan on attending and would like a strong Cape Aux showing to support our sisters in Sikeston.  Family Picnic is Sunday the 19th.  Contact Judy or Jay Biester early if you can help in any way.  They can use all they can get.  Please bring your family with you to the Ice Cream Social.  The Post is for families and it should be fun.  If you know of any students who would like to compete in writing competitions, Voice of Democracy (grades 9-12), Patriots Pen (grades 6-8), please contact me.  $30,000.00 scholarship goes to the winner.  Please remember and don't forget, don't worry.

Respectfully yours, Helen Heise.
