Deadline for Poppy Poster Contest: May 1, 2025
Poppy Order Form – Due November 1
The Department’s Poppy Program is going well. Poppy orders are being processed for mailing as they come in. If you have not already received your order, I will get them to you as soon as I can.
We are seeking additional Auxiliary members and veterans to assist in assembling poppies. If you would love to be on the poppy assembly team, please give me a call. Directions on how to assemble poppies are also available by calling me. Feel free to email me at poppies@ndala.org.
I attended three Fall District meetings and distributed information on how to make felt poppies as well as our traditional crepe poppies. Information on the 2025 Poppy Poster Contest was also dispersed.

Ways to Promote the Poppy Program and increase revenue:
• Wear a poppy to promote conversation and interest.
• Promote the Poppy Poster Contest in your local schools.
• Educate your community about how funds collected help veterans, servicemembers, and their families.
• Contact local businesses for permission to distribute poppies on their premises. Make sure you have permission for liability purposes; in some instances, permits are required.
• Send a thank you to businesses that allow distribution. Consider using the Poppy Poster thank you cards, available for purchase through Emblem Sales, for your communication.
• Organize a Department poppy drive with The American Legion Family. Encourage The American Legion, Sons of The American Legion, Legion Riders, and ALA Junior members to join poppy distributions in your community.
