American Legion Auxiliary says thank you to first responders
The American Legion Auxiliary would like to send a special thank you for your service to the first responders of Lee County and Pine Island, for all they do and their constant commitment to serving our community. First Vice Teresa Shattuck reached out to invite them to join us Friday, April 15, for a complementary dinner as a thank you. We were so pleased that Lt. Daniel Leffin, Deputy Barbara Berg, Sgt. Joe Nigro, Deputy Glenn Kilpatrick and Deputy Ryan Chernoff were able to free a little time to come out and let us show appreciation for their continued support and dedication. In honor of our April 15 Purple Up Day, in which we honor our military children, this day we acknowledge and support the children of military families and their sacrifices. Lt. Daniel was pinned with a purple ribbon to show support for our military children from our newly elected President Tracy Wentz of The American Legion Auxiliary.
