The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary launched its 2026 year of service with its annual kickoff breakfast Jan. 26 at Epping Forest Yacht and Country Club. Hosted by longtime member Marilyn Carpenter, the gathering brought members and guests together to set the tone for the year ahead. The meeting opened with a devotional prayer from Susan Halil, followed by remarks from President Debbie Veale and a welcome to guests by Second Vice President Diane Bailey. This year’s guest speaker was Mary Daniel, founder of Caregivers for Compromise.
The Auxiliary closed the morning by reminding members and supporters that its annual Silent Auction and Tasting Luncheon is scheduled for April 9, 2026, at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center.
