A Memorial Service is held on a rotating basis in a Church in Manhasset each year on the Sunday before Memorial Day. Members of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary participated together with members of the Church of St. Mary in this joint remembrance. A gathering followed the service in one of the Church’s rooms and refreshments were served.
On the evening of May 25, four members of Unit 304 attended the annual Dinner honoring the Nassau County American Legion Auxiliary President. The dinner also recognizes the work accomplished by Units within the County during the year. Unit 304 received numerous certificates for their work with Veterans and their families in particular.
Flo Buzzitta, Pat O’Brien. Florence Parrella and Elizabeth Parrella enjoyed the evening.
Everyone who attended the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner sponsored by Unit 304 on March 18th had a wonderful time and enjoyed the corned beef and cabbage which was supplemented by chicken parmigiana, a little addition for those celebrating St. Joseph’s Day. Good food, good music and great company brightened an evening that had been threatened by freezing rain and snow. Thanks to Elizabeth and Florence Parrella for all their preparations and to Donald O’Brien for serving as a chauffeur for those who preferred not to face the storm threats from behind the wheel of their car. Thanks also to Billy Gaus who served as the evening’s roving photographer.
