VFW Ladies Auxiliary will meet every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. to decorate Christmas stockings for veterans in the Waco VA Hospital as well as working on other projects.

The club president’s special project is to fill the needs for the clothes closet at the VA Hospital in Waco. Items needed are washing powder, bath, shower and personal hygiene products.

Also needed are nonperishable items such as Vienna sausage, sardines, and crackers, etc. for the homeless veterans.

Ladies who have not paid their dues, it’s time to do so. Lifetime memberships are also available.

Call Genny Guthrie for information on membership dues.
