I must also give out a huge Thank You to everyone who donated items for the live and silent auctions, as well as those people who helped out with items for the meal.

This could not have been as successful without your generosity. And to everyone that bought items on the auction or donated money in any way, please know that your generosity is greatly appreciated.

I’ll close with my new saying that I came up with a few weeks ago.

“When life hands you lemons, take them back to the store and trade them for limes and make margaritas.” I am not encouraging us to all be drinking all the time, just that sometimes you can make a minor adjustment to the

situation and make it a whole lot more enjoyable for you.

My Thanks, Love and Gratitude to all of you, — Dalton Reineking

Thank you I would like to thank the people of North Iowa for their generous support of the annual VFW Buddy Poppy campaign. Without you, this could not happen. Also I need to give a warm thanks to all of the area businesses for their gracious support for this endeavor. But I can’t forget the wonderful support from my great group of volunteers for the numerous hours of work that made this campaign a great success.

Thank you all again.

— Jerry D. Lessor Jr. Vice Commander VFW Post 733 San Juan Marne
