Gilmanton American Legion Auxiliary
Old Home Day Preview
On August 9th, the Gilmanton American Legion Auxiliary,
Ellis-Geddes-Levitt Unit 102 will be “Open For Business” at
Gilmanton’s 116th Old Home Day!
Stop
and visit with us. Enjoy home-made food delights and sign our guest
book in which you’ll find old friends from near and far.
Don’t forget to buy a chance on our largest annual raffle. First
prize is a wonderful basket filled to the brim with home goods to
complement and “comfortize” your home. Second prize is a beautiful
hand-crafted afghan. This year’s colors are a blend of variegated
grays resulting in a very beautiful and warm accent. For a third
prize this year, the Auxiliary is very pleased to offer a
hand-painted Lupine Tea Set. We hope you will be lucky with your
chance!
Please also be sure to view the progress on our Veterans at Rest in
Gilmanton project. All Veterans should receive the honor of
recognition for their service and this honor should extend to their
final resting place. This project will record Veteran burials
within the community so that the Gilmanton Legion may place an
American Flag at the grave each spring. Since public records on
veteran burials are incomplete, we are asking the public to share
information with us on Veterans buried in Gilmanton, both recent and
older burials, including name, burial location and other relevant
information that may be available.
Join our Legion Auxiliary at the Smith Meetinghouse grounds, 451
Meeting House Road, 10am on August 9th and enjoy another wonderful
Gilmanton Community Event!
