U.S.S. Little Rock Association's
"Ladies Auxiliary"

Most sailors consider
it unlucky to have a woman aboard ship . . . . . to which we say
"Hogwash!" Let it be known that the members of the U.S.S. Little
Rock Association feel just the opposite when it comes to having women
as part of our group. In fact, the ladies of the
Association have their own group within the Association and they
contribute mightily to the morale, well-being and smooth operation of
our organization. Known informally at the "Little Rocker-ettes" or the
"Lady Rockers" and the "Ladies Auxiliary", the gentle-women
have one goal only, and that is to support the Association in whatever
way they can.
To provide some
semblance of organization, the Auxiliary has the following ladies as
Officers. . . .
Carol
Baker - Treasurer
Donna Jamieson - Co-Coordinator Grace Perillo - Co-Coordinator Marlene Schuld - Secretary |

Dear Little Rock Ladies, This year our 2011 Reunion takes us back to Buffalo. We looking forward to seeing each of you again. In addition to the bus tours, Memorial Service & Luncheon, and the Saturday evening banquet, one of the reunion highlites is our annual "Tricky Tray" auction. (A "women only" event!) We will hold our auction while the men are having their business meeting. A Trick Tray auction, which you probably know, is a combination of a raffle and an auction. The difference is that the buyers ("bidders") get to choose which prize(s) they want to win. Each buyer purchases tickets and uses them to bid on an item by putting one or more tickets in a bag beside the item(s) they are trying to win. At the end of the bidding period, one winning ticket is drawn from the bag beside each item, and the item is then given to the owner of that ticket. What we need each of you to do is bring one or more items for the auction. These items should be something "desireable" and can have any value. They can be serious or funny, useable, or a gag item. We also would like you to decorate the bag that will be used for each item. The bags will then be given to the winners. In the past a significant portion of the money we collect is presented to the Association at the Saturday banquet. We also decided to collect dues of $5.00. This money is being set aside for a "special" ladies function. If you were unable to join us in 2010, we really hope you will join us this year. Anyone with any questions can e-mail or call me. My e-mail is: usnavy95@gmail.com My phone is: 207-726-3904. Looking forward to seeing each of you this year in Buffalo! Donna |
