history
The Ladies Auxiliary was founded in 1952; Mrs. Marjorie Bardin was the chairperson of the organizing committee. The first president of the Auxiliary was Mrs. Esther VanVorst. The meetings were held in Mohican Grange Hall and the group got to work immediately. In their first year, they were able to generate $150, which in modern value is about $1,500. Along with Marjorie Bardin and Esther VanVorst, the early members were Mary Martindale, Viola Melanson, Rachel Kubrikcy, and Ruth Parkhill.
