American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 44 members Mary Downey, left, and Wanda Westman present checks to Ken Arseneau of the Jacobetti Home for Veterans. One check for $3,826 will be used to purchase a blanket warmer that will benefit many of the 189 residents at the home, specifically those in the Special Needs Unit. A second check for $300 is for the Beauty Shop/Barber Shop Fund for residents to receive services. The funds were generated by the auxiliary’s annual poppy sale, which is set for the third week of May.
