Oxford Legion Auxiliary donates to Primary School to promote literacy
OXFORD - The Fort Hill American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Unit #376 held their annual benefit Harvest Dinner this past October to raise money for the Finch Book and Education Fund. At the February 19, Post 376 Sunday Community Breakfast, president Tesha Tefft presented a donation check for $600, to Babbett Lehmer, Oxford Youth Center vice president, who accepted the donation on behalf of Kathleen Hansen, Oxford Academy Primary School Principal, who was unable to attend. The donation is for the purchase of books for the elementary students to promote literacy.
Annually, proceeds from the ALA Unit 376's Harvest dinner are used for the Finch Book and Education Fund, named after Sarah "Sally" Finch, a once proud member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Under Sally’s direction, to promote literacy in the community, the Oxford Auxiliary decided to start a book fund in the fall of 2000 with proceeds from their annual Harvest Dinner. After Sally passed away in December of 2003, the Auxiliary changed the name to honor her. This memorial fund provides books for the Oxford Academy Primary School students. To date, Unit 376 has donated well over $7,000. The Legion Auxiliary wishes to thank all of those who generously contributed to this good cause.
ALA Unit 376 is involved in community and youth activities, such as Empire Girls' State; nursing homes; Christmas Community Baskets, food and clothing banks; education; charities; the paper Memorial Day poppies, their annual Cinco de Mayo dinner; fund raisers for their Unit 376 Scholarship; the Finch Book and Education Fund for literacy; and more.
For inquiries about joining the ALA, please don't hesitate to contact membership chair, Jeanie Petersen at (607) 843-2121 or email: Events@OxfordNY.com.
ALA Unit 376 meets the second Tuesday each month at 7:00 p.m., in the dining hall of the Fort Hill Legion. The next meeting date is March 14. The historic Oxford American Legion, Fort Hill Park, Post #376, is located at 17 S. Washington Avenue.
