Hello from District 4.
We had a great Winter Conference in January. We learned to make poppies—our goal was 250—and the workshops were very informative.
Once again, our Spring District Meeting was threatened by inclement weather, but it did not happen. Department President Candace Berg asked the question, “What is your why? Why did you join the American Legion Auxiliary?” It was interesting to hear the stories of each member’s “why,” and how long members have belonged to the Auxiliary. President Berg also encouraged everyone to sign up for the e-newsletter and join the North Dakota American Legion Auxiliary Facebook page. She suggested members take 10 Auxiliary Academy online training courses by June 15; participants will receive a certificate upon completion.
Department Membership Chairman Sandy Smith spoke on membership and encouraged all members to report their volunteer hours, mileage, and donations for the 2026 Year-End Impact Report. Shelley Schuster, Department Vice President, was able to attend our Spring meeting and was pleased to meet and visit with those in attendance.
Betty Geigle, Jamestown Unit 14, was elected as District 4 Vice President/Secretary. I would like to send a big, heartfelt thank you to Gail Marsolek for her time and talents serving as District 4 Vice President for the past several years.
We are looking forward to the 2026 Department Convention in Fargo. Congratulations to the Unit Membership Chairs who have achieved 100%+ membership and to those who have already achieved 90%. I look forward to seeing many of you at the convention and I wish you all a wonderful summer.
