                   AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY POST 62

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to honor the ladies of 
American Legion Auxiliary Post 62 from Humboldt, SD. These ladies 
ranging from 60 to 80 years of age have not only been active supporters 
of our young men and women serving abroad but have dedicated themselves 
to providing support for their community and Nation.
  This small group of dedicated members holds an annual fundraiser 
where this year they raised a considerable sum. The ladies of Post 62 
were able to give an average of $150 to the following organizations: 
the West Central FFA, the Community Club Fund, the Volunteer Fire 
Department, Buddy Walk, the Special Olympics, and the Creative Arts 
Festival for Veterans. In addition to donating to this long list of 
charitable organizations they also purchased new dictionaries for all 
third graders in South Dakota's West Central School District.
  I am proud to highlight the accomplishments made by the Ladies of 
Post 62 in Humboldt, SD, and I gladly congratulate them on their many 
and generous contributions to the State of South Dakota and to our 
Nation.
