What Makes the NAPS Auxiliary Special?

What Makes the NAPS Auxiliary Special?
By Mary Caruso
MINK Area Vice President

Is it the other members, their leadership and the work that we do? I never gave it much thought until I attended the MINK Area training in Springfield, MO, this past May.

A person belongs to an organization, attends meetings, helps at conferences and does whatever is needed. With the NAPS Auxiliary, this includes fundraising for SPAC, 50/50 drawings at area and regional training seminars and any other special raffles.

At the MINK Area training seminar, I helped with the SPAC and 50/50 raffles. I always help out, so it was no big deal. At the end of the seminar, NAPS members acknowledged the Auxiliary and myself with a standing ovation for a “job well-done!” This was unexpected, but very heart-warming.

To me, the Auxiliary is special because we always can be counted on to do whatever NAPS asks of us. The Auxiliary works together and always gets it done. And it is appreciated.

The confidence NAPS has in the Auxiliary makes me proud to belong to this organization.
