Grand Forks Legion Auxiliary
As the new decade began in the 1920’s, the American Legion Auxiliary was formed. The Auxiliary began the task of providing dinner on meeting nights that helped the attendance. They always participated in the Veterans Day and Memorial Day programs and prepare the lunch that follows. In addition, the Auxiliary coordinates the Annual Poppy Day Program; present the All American Student Award at Red River and Central High School; assist with the Legion Baseball Program; raises funds to sponsor the Girls State program; and selects and send local students to the International Music Camp.
