A HISTORY OF NEENAH
  On February 20, 1933, the second meeting was held and a consti-
tution was drawn. Mrs. Kuehmsted was elected Vice-Chairman and
Mrs. Ted Gilbert, Secretary and Treasurer. Monthly meetings were
held in the homes of members. By 1934 there were twelve active mem-
bers. In April of that year, two auxiliary members were appointed to
attend the monthly meetings of the VNA Board in order to establish
a closer working arrangement between the two groups. Dues, plus
proceeds of food sales, provided a small amount for the treasury.
  In later years, an annual dance has been held to raise money for the
work.
  Presently one VNA Auxiliary member is elected to serve on the VNA
Board, and two members are invited to attend the monthly meetings
of the VNA Board.
  VNA Auxiliary members continued to drive for dental clinics until
that work was recently absorbed by the Community Chest. This group
makes all necessary sewing repairs for VNA nurses, and supplies the
kits used in their daily calls.
