I am a life member of Auxiliary #1377 Greenville in District 12. I joined under the eligibility of my father, Eldon Nowlin, who served in the Navy during WWII. Both my father and mother were life members of our Post and Auxiliary. My husband Kirby and I live on the family farm outside Alhambra. Along with farming, we also own and operate Grantfork Meats.
Welcome to the 2022-23 year of “Boots on the Ground for Our Veterans”. This could not be a better theme for us this year as we begin to get back into our VA facilities to assist our Veterans. Our National President’s theme of “Hands that Serve, Hearts that Care” is a perfect example of what our organization is all about. This year, I hope to work on some big projects that our VA facilities need assistance with. Whenever I am made aware of a need at one of our facilities, I will be sending out e-blasts and posting on social media to let our members know what they can do to help. I look forward to working with you all and seeing the great things we can accomplish when we work together for a common goal.
