The American Legion Auxiliary shines as an example of unselfish giving. With almost a million members from all walks of life, the Auxiliary administers hundreds of volunteer programs, gives tens of thousands of hours to its communities and to veterans, and raises millions of dollars to support its own programs as well as other worthwhile charities familiar to most Americans. It is all accomplished with volunteers.The Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist The American Legion, is much more than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own unique identity while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong to The American Legion. Like the Legion, the Auxiliary’s interests have broadened to encompass the entire community.The American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization. Through its nearly 10,500 units located in every state and some foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace.

Indiana’s University Center for excellence in developmental disabilities

Scaly Tailz is a not for profit reptile and amphibian education and rescue group. We offer free educational reptile demonstrations (schools, school events, Wonderlab, Public Libraries, Boxcar Books, and so forth). We also take in reptiles and amphibians that have been abandoned, as well as those that just need a new loving home. If it is an animal we are unable to accept (venomous, crocodilians, iguanas, extremely large snakes, or reptiles that are contagious), we will refer a person to one of the other Indiana reptile rescues we work with. We never charge for our services (we do accept donations)
