Past ALA Unit #43 Presidents Contribute to the Community

Maryann Doherty, Annmarie Landishman and Doris Sallie, all Past Presidents of American Legion Auxiliary Unit #43 of Madison- Florham Park, sang “God Bless America” along with a resident at Lyons Veterans Administration Hospital recently.

The ladies were also members of the Gray Mares, a group of Past Presidents of The Morris County American Legion Auxiliary that recently disbanded. The treasury that remained was distributed to the Morris County ALA Hazel Sacco Scholarship Fund, The ALA Department of New Jersey Past Presidents Nurses’ Scholarship Fund and a Karaoke machine for use by the Recreation Department at Lyons Veterans’ Administration Hospital Building #143. The residents and staff were delighted by the gift which will be used in therapy by many of the residents.

The American Legion Auxiliary will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2019.
