Dear Auxiliary Brothers & Sisters

            I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and were able to show Patriotism during the Events you held during the month of December. 

              As we begin this New Year it is a time for us to reflect on our lives and start afresh to improve ourselves. Many will make resolutions to stop or start doing something to change for the better.

Let’s try to think of ways we can improve our Patriotism within our Auxiliaries and Communities.    

             Let’s make a difference in this world.

            We have a few Special Days to remember in January:
