Serving Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties

To the editor: Support for Poppy Days appreciated

Posted

To the editor: The Elmore American Legion Auxiliary Unit 279 would like to thank the Elmore community for it its support during the recent Poppy Days, held over the Memorial Day weekend.

We collected more than $1,800 while distributing the poppies, 100 percent of which will go to veterans.

We help fund various programs such as The Sandusky Solider and Sailors Home, Ottawa County Veteran Services, Riverside Nursing Home and HOOVES. These and other programs that we support are all directed at supporting the veterans in our community.

Again, thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible. It is true – it takes a village.
