"The American Legion Auxiliary of Post 125 was charted July 11, 1948. Their work is similar to the Legion in all phases. Their big project each year is providing gifts for their Christmas gift shop held for the veterans hospitalized at Bay Pines. Patients may select gifts, free, for their families at that time."
