(Note from the Women's Auxiliary)

To the people of Nevins Township:

The Women's Auxiliary would like to thank the people of Nevins Twp. for your continued support at our various functions.  The support and the generous donations  made for our dinners as well as the monetary support of our raffles and bake sales is much appreciated.  We would welcome new members.  Our meetings are the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm at the Fontanet Fire House.  We have dinners and organize other activities to raise funds so that we can do community service.  One of the goals we would like to address this year is finding funding for and erecting a memorial to our residents (and in some cases family members) who perished in the October 1907 Du Pont powder mill explosion.  Any one who has an interest in helping to forward this goal, or presenting other ideas to us, please contact us.

In the past year we purchased two life savings rings for water rescues and presented them to the Nevins Twp. Fire Dept.  We served dinner for a Fire Dept. training class with other departments in attendance as well.  We were able to hire a band for the Fontanet Bean Dinner on Saturday afternoon, sold cornbread, held a cakewalk, and a raffle.  The women have also served at three funeral dinners for township residents who have passed away.  In May and again in November we sent out 13 boxes to service men and women serving away from home.  We donated items to the Nevins Fire Dept. for their annual Eater egg hunt at the Bean Dinner Grove.  In October we had a Halloween party for township children at the Bean Dinner Grove, and in December we adopted a family with several children for the Christmas holiday.

Here is a list of the dinners that we have planned for 2009. 
Dinners are 3:00-7:00 pm:

For any community member who is unable to work at or donate for our dinners we would still certainly welcome your input.  Anyone who has questions about our projects and ideas for new or different projects, please contact any auxiliary member.

Once again we thank everyone so much for the support that has been shown for our organization.
