News Release

NORTH WEBSTER — The North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Chamber would like to acknowledge the North Webster American Legion Auxiliary Unit 253 as the September Member of the Month. The ALA Unit 253 is made up of the male and female spouses, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, brothers and direct descendants of members of the American Legion, some of whom are veterans themselves.

The chamber acknowledges everything they do for the community such as scholarships for students, supporting the Lions Club and Boys Scouts, volunteering at the community center’s events, donating to the food bank, helping local veterans and encouraging eight veterans at the VA Hospital, along with many other programs and events.

The ALA’s largest fundraiser is their paper poppy flower sale the Saturday before Memorial Day.
