The Auxiliary made a suggestion that our annual Dec. meeting/Xmas party be
held somewhere other than the Museum because of space and the fact that they
made the food, and bring it in to set it up, clean it up and take the dirty
dishes home.
It was decided that this was a good idea and we would have it at Cosgrove’s, as
he is a member of the Camp.
It will start at 6:30 instead of 7:00 so we can take care of business
and installation of officers and have a nice evening.
The Auxiliary informed us that in June the President and Vice President of
Auxiliary #10 resigned.
Because of that, their first order of business after returning from

Vice President.
Camp #8 would like to wish them both the best of luck and congratulations in
their new positions.
