Chaplain's Comments
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6. Just a little scripture we should all hold dear!!!
MAY THE GOOD LORD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS.

Ladies Auxiliary President's Comments
We had 29 members present at our April meeting and one visitor, Monica Blaine, our Dist 1 Sr Vice President. Thanks to all who attended.
Vicki Johnson, our Cancer Aid & Research Chairman, reported that she will be walking in the Denison Relay For Life cancer walk on May 18th for representing the ladies auxiliary. Anyone wishing to contribute to this event can mail or drop off funds to the post to the attention of the LAUX Treasurer.
Peggy Terrell, our Legislative Chairman, reported that she visited the Pottsboro High School and registered 10 students to vote. Great job Peggy!
Debra Crouch informed us that the Easter egg hunt in April was a big success. Debra also reported that Tabitha Hester, a senior at Pottsboro High School, won the patriotic art contest and a picture of her beautiful artwork, originally done in fabric dye and acrylic, was passed around for all to see. Debra mailed Tabitha’s artwork to our Ladies Aux Dept. office for the next level of judging.
Nancy Yantes did an outstanding job describing all the work our auxiliary did throughout the year and how proud she is of us. Wonderful job Nancy, you sure made all of us proud!
