Our Committies

In each Auxiliary Unit, there are committies chosen to focus on programs that are run by the American Legion Auxiliary. With each committee, there are guidelines and projects that are handed down from Department , District, County and finally Unit. Since our Junior Auxiliary members have voted and accepted the idea, our Juniors take part in these committies listed below by doing projects to promote the beliefs and teachings of each Senior Committee.
