At the recent American Legion Auxiliary Department Convention, Alyssa Champion was selected Department Junior Miss Poppy, and Alexus Champion was selected Senior Miss Poppy.
The sisters are members of the Chief Pontiac 377 Junior Auxiliary. They earned the honor by spreading the word about the poppy program and how it helps veterans and their families.
They both are active volunteers at veterans? facilities, community, nursing homes, charities, and post and unit projects and programs.
“They have done this since they could walk and talk, being born into an active Legion and auxiliary family,” Ivy Lee Reinhardt, Chief Pontiac 377 Auxiliary. “We are so very proud of all their accomplishments.”
