JoAnn Cronin, National American Legion Auxiliary President from Imperial, Mo., visited several Augusta locations of February 21. Her first stop was the Uptown VA Hospital. As President Cronin's special project is "creative arts," veterans that participated in the Creative Arts contest has their exhibits up for show. President Cronin enjoyed walking around looking at the exhibits and talking to the veterans.

She then moved on to the active military units to meet with veterans. The tour group then went to Post 63 for a delicious lunch and program hosted by the Ladies Auxiliary of Unit 63.

After a brief rest at the motel, President Cronin went to Post 192 in Evans where the ladies auxiliary had a delicious meal served to President Cronin and American Legion families from posts, units and squadrons 63, 178, 192, 194, 205, 235 and 505. A wonderful program was enjoyed after the meal.
