Auxiliary Unit 61 Scrapbook Award

---

 Members of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 61 and Post 61 conducted the Auxiliary’s annual poppy drive at various business locations in Mountain City, 19-20 May 2023. All donations are used to assist veterans and their families in need and all donations remain in Johnson County.

We are grateful for the generosity displayed every year of those who support our veterans and their families. We have a large veteran population for such a small county and the most veteran-friendly community anywhere.

 National Poppy Day is 26 May. We are continually aiming higher, working together for our veterans and our community.

Pictured are only a few of those who volunteered their time and also donated for the cause.

 Johnson County American Legion Auxiliary Unit 61 was honored for exceeding the Unit’s membership goal for 2022-2023 at the East Tn Division meeting hosted by Unit 104 Sevierville on Saturday, April 29, 2023. Sandy Clouse, Unit 61 President (R) accepted the award from Department (State) membership chairperson Pat Wallace (L).

The American Legion Auxiliary supports programs such as Girls State, etc. Johnson County’s Unit 61 also assists veterans and their families in times of  need.
