VFW Auxiliary Donates Flag to Library 

The VFW 7262 Greenville Ladies Auxiliary donated a beautiful 4x6 American Flag to the Greenville Public Library.  Arlene Meyers explained that the Auxiliary will give a flag to any organization in need of one as part of their “Americanism” program.  Americanism, which  promotes patriotism and love & pride of country, is just one of the Auxiliary's many programs that benefit veterans and the community.  “We’re very community minded and give to anyone in need.”  They also support cancer research & aid, awards & scholarships, youth, rehabilitation, and food baskets during the holidays, to name just a few. 

Arlene joined the Auxiliary in 1974 and is now a life member.  She’s served as past president on both the local and district levels.  To be eligible to join a lady must have had a husband, father, brother, or son who served in the military in foreign territory during a time of crisis.    

Arlene is seen with Director John Vehre who said the Library's flagpole rope had recently been repaired so it was a good time to replace the old flag.  Director Vehre expressed his  thanks to the Ladies Auxiliary for their beautiful gift and for all they do for the community.
