McDonough American Legion Auxiliary to host ‘Veterans Thank You’ luncheon

MCDONOUGH – The Edwin Wilbur Jr. American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Unit 1478 has been invited to host the fourth annual 'Veterans Thank You' luncheon. The complimentary afternoon of recognition for local veterans will take place this Saturday, October 1, from noon to 3 p.m. at McDonough Post 1478.
There will be speakers, appreciation certificates, and opportunities for networking at the luncheon.
Every year the Chenango County ALA rotates the luncheon location throughout the county. It started in Sherburne at Post 876, then it was in Norwich at Post 189, and last year it was in Oxford at Post 376. This year, Chenango County ALA President Resi Fuller, who is coordinating the county-wide event, contacted ALA Unit 1478 President Judi Baker who was very honored and excited to be hosting such an important event.
This year's veteran’s event is a complimentary soup and sandwich luncheon for all members of the Chenango County armed forces, with no RSVP required. There will be guest speakers such as Amy Murphy from Hounds Helping Heroes, a local nonprofit that trains dogs to help veterans who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Rhonda Liddell, who helps veterans with Military Sexual Trauma (MST), as well as tables full of information from organizations such as the NYS Veterans’ Home, Hospice, Chenango County Historical Society, and many others to aid veterans and for networking purposes.
McDonough ALA Post 1478 is located at 1136 County Road 5 in McDonough.
The American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization. To make a luncheon donation or to learn more about your local ALA and how you can help your community, contact Chenango County ALA Membership Chairman Mary Lou McAvoy at 607-237-4138 or by email at mlmcavoy@yahoo.com.
