For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.Vision: The vision of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion while becoming the premier service organization and foundation of every community providing support for our veterans, our military, and their families by shaping a positive future in an atmosphere of fellowship, patriotism, peace and security. false false 71730 COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM: Community Service embraces all activities for improvement of conditions of life in the community where the American Legion Auxiliary unit is located. It has been a major activity of The American Legion and Auxiliary since 1926, and has resulted in the completion of a vast number of projects to make American communities better places in which to live. Every Auxiliary Unit is expected to carry out or Cooperate in at least one project for community betterment each year. 34763 VETERANS AFFAIRS AND REHABILITATION: VA&R means the complete restoration of the veteran and his family to normal function and adjustment, physically, mentally, socially, and vocationally for the fullest possible life, compatible with his abilities and disabilities. The VA&R work of the American Legion Auxiliary includes bringing physical comfort and mental cheer to veterans in hospitals, aiding the disabled to earn money for the support of themselves and their families, and helping them to reestablish themselves in life. The American Legion Auxiliary cooperates with The American Legion in ALL its endeavors on behalf of veterans.To carry out the VA&R work effectively, a complete organization extending from the Unit to the National organization is necessary. Years of experience in rehabilitation have brought about systematizing of the activities which has proven to be the most efficient way to aid the different classes of disabled veterans. Unit VA&R workers should become familiar with the Department and National VA&R organizations and be able to use the services of these groups when necessary. Units should work closely with the VA&R Committees of their American Legion Posts and with other agencies in the community from which aid for the disabled is available. 27805 EDUCATION PROGRAM: The education of all of America's children is essential for the future of our nation. The American Legion Auxiliary joins with The American Legion to aid and support the basic rights of all children to receive an appropriate education. That education should prepare them for a fulfilling life. The pattern followed in the development of the program corresponds with the following objectives and policies adopted by The American Legion. 1. To help make it possible for a student, who has the ability or the desire, to receive an education beyond high school. 2. To encourage the members of The American Legion and its affiliated organizations to take an active part in the development and maintenance of a school system that will serve the needs of all children at every level of education. 3. To encourage students to select careers where personnel shortages exist. 9243 CHILDREN & YOUTH PROGRAMS: The purpose and principles of the American Legion Auxiliary's Children and Youth Program are in general the same as those of The American Legion. Although the program is derived from mandates of The American Legion, the Auxiliary augments and adds to it through its continuing support of the overall program as well as through the sponsorship of special assignments and activities. 1. To assure care and protection for children of veterans eligible for membership in The American Legion. 2. Education of the membership and the general public on the needs of the Military child and to recommend ways of meeting those needs. POPPY: More than 3,500,000 poppies made by disabled veterans are distributed on the streets under the supervision of the American Legion Auxiliary by approximately 125,000 volunteers. The memorial poppies are made of red crepe paper, by hand, by disabled veterans in hospitals and poppy workrooms in forty states, and the workers receive pay for each poppy made, the material being furnished free by the Department in the state in which the hospital is located. The total proceeds of over $2,100,000 are spent on programs devoted to Veterans Affairs and rehabilitation work by both The American Legion and Auxiliary, which includes aid to needy veterans and their families including more than $300,000 which is paid annually to needy and disabled service men and service women who make the poppies. The method of distribution varies in each Department, depending upon the nature of the demands for help. Each of our 10,500 Units in communities scattered all over the United States and its territorial possessions, and in foreign countries where veterans reside, maintains a Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Committee working under a chairman, and a Children and Youth Committee with its chairman. 9243 143541 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false true 6 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false true false true false false false false true true true false true false false false CA LAURA FARR 9496735070 215 15TH STREET NEWPORT BEACH CA 92663 X CYNTHIS MINUCCI NEAL President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BOBBI RENEGHAN 1ST V.P. 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BONNIE ROBERTSON 2ND VP 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LESLIE DINKEL Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURA FARR Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY ANN LEONARD CHAPLAIN 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY BETH MARTIN HISTORIAN 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STACY EICKHOFF SGT AT ARMS 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY COOPER ASST SGT AT ARM 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PEGGY BENGRY EXEC COMMITTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANET DU MONCEAU DE BERGENDAL EXEC COMMITTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANA JOHNSTON EXEC COMMITTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAN WOOLFORD EXEC COMMITTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PEGGY BENGRY PARLIAMENTARIAN 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY BETH MARTIN JR PAST PRES 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 58530 58530 Membership Dues & Assessments 245857 245857 245857 21692 21692 0 0 0 0 36662 10573 26089 16208 62774 27242 35532 35532 0 0 387700 281389 37900 155541 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8042 0 0 0 0 0 16727 0 0 145050 0 0 0 0 19050 0 3707 Postage and Shipping 8470 POPPY EXPENSES 7695 VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION 3235 MISC UNIT EXPENSES 2596 2250 372363 0 0 0 186496 0 651553 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5479 0 843528 0 0 0 X 788214 55314 843528 0 843528 0 X 15337 -858865 X false false false X X X false CA 100TH ANNIV CELEBRATION 18257 18257 3318 OTHER 9881 9881 1 8524 8524 7255 36662 36662 7255 3318 10573 26089 false false 62774 13000 14242 true 1.00000 62774 13000 14242 27242 35532 CA true false false false 1.00000 LAURA FARR 215 15TH STREET NEWPORT BEACH CA 92663 false false true AMERICAN LEGION DEPT OF CALIF 401 VAN NESS AVE ROOM 117 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94102 940280850 12000 0 PROGRAM SUPPORT FULLERTON COLLEGE STUDENT VET 321 EAST CHAPMAN AVE FULLERTON CA 92832 12000 0 SCHOLARSHIP FUND SANTA ANA COLLEGE FOUNDAITON 1530 w 17TH STREET SANTA ANA CA 92706 24000 0 SCHOLARSHIP FUND SANTIAGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2323 N BROADWAY SANTA ANA CA 92706 12000 0 SCHOLARSHIP FUND VARIOUS GRANTS UNDER 5000 PO BOX 11448 NEWPORT BEACH CA 92658 95541 0 0 5 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used THE ORGANIZATION MAKES SMALL DONATIONS, TYPICALLY $500 TO $1,500 BASED ON CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT INCORPORATE THE GOALS STATED IN ITS MISSION STATEMENT.
