Legion auxiliary hosts Poppy Weekend

The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 360 in Weatherly will host a Poppy Weekend starting with Poppy Night on Friday.

The night will feature a guest reader telling the story of Moina Belle Michael, who is widely recognized for her work in establishing the red poppy as a symbol of remembrance for World War I veterans.

There will be poppy crafts and ice cream sundaes to enjoy.

All community members, both young and old, are invited to attend.

The auxiliary will also host “Laps Around the Legion” on Saturday. Unit 360 will start walking around the post home at 9 a.m.

A $1 per lap donation or just a donation to help raise money for the poppy fund, which supports the unit’s veterans projects, is greatly appreciated.
