Hear from the current Third District of Minnesota American Legion Auxiliary President and what projects are planned for the upcoming year. Message from the President Welcome to Our 2026–2027 Auxiliary Year My name is Cavalene Regan, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as your 3rd District Auxiliary President this year. I am looking forward to a year of learning, service, and fellowship together. My project this year will focus on the Bravo Zulu House in Winnebago MN. If you have not heard of this, they service Veterans with PTSD and substance abuse. Also, they are in the process of building a second location in Mankato that will specifically support our female Veterans. There will be more information updates throughout the year. I am beginning site visits and planning in July, and I look forward to sharing more as the year unfolds. Here are a few highlights we can look forward to: September: Mission-focused training hosted by Past Presidents October: Fall Conference in St. Cloud November 7: 3rd District Family Membership Rally in Pine Island November 8 : Leadership luncheon to honor our Unit Presidents – that will be held in Morristown. Through it all, our mission remains Service Not Self as we continue supporting veterans, their families, and our communities. Please watch updates on social media, in newsletters, and by email as we begin this new year. I am excited to see as many of you as possible and to serve alongside you. May God Bless you and your families, Cavalene Regan For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.
