![]() Tornado devastates Gassville Five Post/Unit 52 members' homes in our next-door-neighbor town of Gassville (including the one in the photo above) were destroyed in the storm on February 5th and several others were damaged to some degree. Thanks to everyone who donated time, money, clothing, household goods and food, less than a week after the storm we were able to deliver more than 50 moving cartons full of supplies (and $250 worth of kids' underwear and socks) to the Cotter School for distribution to families affected by the storm. See the Commander's Message on the Post 52 website for all the details.

AUXILIARY NEWS
We’re off to another great year! At the January meeting, Unit 52 gave 106 teddy bears to State Trooper David Small to share with other State Troopers. They give the bears to children when needed. They help the children to have something to cuddle with in bad situations, especially after accidents. Eileen Selberg, Chairman of Veterans Affairs, fixed goodie boxes for our Veterans in local nursing homes for Valentine’s Day. Each valentine sack was filled with cookies, candy and a special Valentine card. Sally Rae, Chairman for Children & Youth, reported that “her” second graders at Nelson-Wilks-Herron elementary school made Valentines for our troops. They were real cute. She also reminds us that PROJECT BABY SHOWER continues through April 15th; all donations of new baby clothes and accessories will go to DHS at that time. If you haven't already paid your dues for 2008, it’s not too late – and we really need your membership. We would hate to see you lose your membership years by not staying current. Auxiliary dues are $15 per year for senior members (over 18) and $5 per year for juniors; please make your check payable to Alley-White ALA Unit 52, and send it in care of Bert Whitesell at the Post’s address, 717 Market Street, Mountain Home, AR 72653. Please also be aware that both the Legion and Auxiliary membership years run from July 1 through June 30 of each year, NOT January through December. So your 2009 dues will be due beginning July 1st, 2008. Thanks to all of you who helped us help the Gassville people involved in the tornado. The food, clothing and cash donations were nearly overwhelming! What a wonderful, caring organization. Our condolences go out to Carolyn Edwards for the loss of her husband Lyn; to the families of recently departed members Linda Martin, Wanda Smith and Vada Sheid; and to Unit 52 and Post 52 member Kay Losiewski on the loss of her husband Casey. Hope to see you at our next pot luck and meeting, held the first Monday of each month. (NOTE: The March dinner/meeting was rescheduled to the 10th because of inclement weather on the 3rd.) Dinner is at 5:30 pm, the meeting is at 6:30 pm.
Your President,
