San Jacinto Day Celebration

The members of Sarah Emma Seelye Auxiliary #1 thought it would be a good idea to get out in front of the public at a new event, and it was! For the first time our organization had a booth at the San Jacinto Day Celebration, on April 18, 2026. Nice tent with flags and banners, many displays, fundraisers including the Opportunity Quilt drawing and sale of Patriotic Cockades and, of course, membership information to hand out to visitors were all a big success.

Sisters Vali Reyes, Jana Marsh, Lisa Riley and Annette Kinslow attended in either Civil War-era attire or ASUVCW gear, along with Brother Robert Riley from Camp 2. The ladies explained the importance of Patriotic Cockades back to Revolutionary War days plus showed housewife (sewing) kits that soldiers would keep with their gear. Check out the pictures and start planning for next year when the Brothers will join the Sisters in force at San Jacinto Day, complete with uniforms and displays of our own.
