Gackle Unit 250
Mayer-Morlock Unit #250 held their annual kuchen baking fundraiser during the first week of July. Gackle unit members, with help from other volunteers, baked and sold 180 kuchen.
This was quite a project! Thirty-nine quarts of cream, fifteen quarts plus six dozen eggs, fifty-five pounds of sugar and 13 pounds of flour were used to cook the kuchen custard. Flavors of kuchen offered were peach, blueberry, prune, strawberry, rhubarb and strawberry-rhubarb. The Gackle kuchen fundraiser was an outstanding success.
Each year the city of Gackle celebrates the 4th of July with numerous activities. Mayer-Morlock Unit #250 participated in the 2024 Gackle celebration via a bake sale, lunch and parade entry. Not only Auxiliary members, but also members of the Gackle community donated baked goods to be sold. Approximately 200 people purchased lunch consisting of sloppy joes, chips, bars and beverages. Gackle Unit Secretary and District 4 President, Jane Schoonover, drove the Auxiliary entry in the parade while Auxiliary member Ann Haut threw candy to the crowd. The celebration was an excellent way for the community to bring people together to honor our country. The Auxiliary was proud to be part of the activities.
