In order to surprise Ilo Louck with a party for her 109th birthday, the American Legion Post 18 members knew that she likes to come to the monthly pancake breakfasts, so on Oct. 28, 2023, a few days before Ito's 109th birthday on Nov. 5, 2023, the members of the American Legion Auxiliary conspired to host the party during the pancake breakfast.
Ilo's son, Jerry, and great-granddaughter Jasmijn, were in on the surprise so they brought her to the breakfast. She ate her pancakes and was sitting visiting with her Legion friends, when here came the birthday cake and flowers for a special woman. She expressed her surprise, and gracefully thanked everyone who served her cake and brought her birthday flowers.

Auction items were available to peruse and bid on. A poster table explained what the GRMC Auxiliary does and a banner featured the foundation.
Participants included community members, as well as hospital staff, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer Margie Molitor, who visited with guests during one of her last days in Silver City. "I'm happy to be retiring and going back to home to Wyoming, but I will greatly miss the people and friends I've made here."
