Auxiliary Update (12.31.20)

Happy Holidays to everyone and the prayers of health and safety. Well to say that this year so far has been challenging would be an understatement. Adversity brings forward opportunities to rise above and exhibit the grit that our Auxiliary always showcases. These last few months our team has been challenged with working in conjunction with the VFW to be creative with our most favored fund raisers. The addition of extra expanded Chicken Q’s, adapting to wearing PPE that we are not accustomed to, and modifying the ways that has become routine, have become the new norm. I commend our team for always stepping up and fulfilling the mission of the Auxiliary by supporting our VFW.

We have been successful in recruiting some new members this year and genuinely enjoy the addition of new faces, and ideas. Without new members our Auxiliary would not be sustainable. Please reach out to anyone that is eligible and invite them to attend an event or meeting. We welcome all new members.

As we journey into 2021 with the promise of vaccinations and light at the end of the tunnel with COVID, our team will continue to practice safety, step up to serve the community, and help the VFW. We look forward to life resuming as before, and the opportunity to socialize, share stories and create memories. Happy Holidays to everyone and stay safe.

Auxiliary Update (10.30.20)

The month of June brings a new year for the Auxiliary. New officer elections were accomplished through Zoom technology, due to meeting restrictions. This year has encouraged our Auxiliary to step outside the comfort zone and become creative. To continue to have a thriving Auxiliary, looking for ways to connect are very important. I am proud to have been elected as the Auxiliary President again for the 2020-2021 election year. The sustainability of our Auxiliary remains an important concern, and I am proud to represent this amazing group.

This month we mourned the loss of one of the long-term members of our Auxiliary. Lois Beseler was a key member for many years, and the loss of this soul will be felt for years to come. We continue to honor the ones that have passed by supporting the VFW and community with enthusiasm and unwavering support.

This year our focus will be on recruiting new members. As our long-term members continue to be an integral part of our team, we also need to look to the future and bring in new ideas, and energy. Showcasing the camaraderie and teamwork that takes place at our post, will hopefully encourage new members to participate.

We look forward to a busy summer and fall with our Chicken Que’s and other activities. Our post has respected the current COVID 19 situation and will always keep our members and the community we serve in the forefront of safety initiatives.

Cheers to the start of another great year.
