Student Featured in National Veterans Magazine
VERMILLION, S.D. -- Autumn Simunek, a University of South Dakota music education student and Miss South Dakota 2015, is featured in the August edition of the American Legion Auxiliary magazine.
She and Jessica Beal-Bahmuller, 2016 Mrs. South Dakota International, both auxiliary members, were profiled for using their platforms as a way to tell people about the ALA and how it helps military veterans.
Simunek, from Hot Springs, South Dakota, started the Veterans Holiday Relief Drive, which raised $45,000 in donations in less than a year.
