Today was our August Juniors Meeting. Brayden led the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Juniors received Poppy Certificates for their work handing out Poppies and programs at the Memorial Day Ceremony. Congratulations to them for their service to the community.

As Autumn is right around the corner (hopefully), we made Sunflower cards. They also completed birthday cards for Veterans at the Radcliff Veterans Center. We also thanked our parent/grandparent helpers… for the extra pairs of hands, for making our t-shirts, mounting the donated tv, helping with clean-up, for posting info in the Bugler, etc. I certainly appreciate their help each month.

We watched a video on “Old Glory”…on the tv donated by the Legion, and discussed flag etiquette. The tv is an old one they were no longer using. We are grateful for their donation.

Mother Nature had other plans for our Flag Retirement Ceremony, as she sent a thunderstorm our way. So the ceremony has been postponed, date to be determined.

There will be no September or October Juniors Meeting, as I will be out of state. The Juniors were given a challenge… by November when we return….to have some activities of their choice completed in their Patch Program notebook and to write a letter thanking a Veteran, as 11 November is Veterans Day.
