Matthew James Broehm VFWA Post 12128
Membership Amanda Dorris We planned our Member appreciation event for Aug 13th 2016. We were able to host an evening cocktail party at President Carol McElwain’s house. There was all sorts of food, from Hot Artichoke dip to a chocolate fountain with all sorts of treats. Since many of members’ husbands are in our VFW Post, they were invited as well. As an additional gift of appreciation, all members received a gift bag that included a paper Flag Fan, a VFWA Decal from the VFW store, bookmarks , a Declaration Tie Pin, Superman expandable washcloth, dangling earrings and various snacks. We tied these into a game that we equated with the VFWA programs. Can you guess which each match up too? Flag Fan = Americanism VFWA Decal = Membership Bookmarks = Youth Declaration tie/hat pin = Legislative Superman Wash cloth = Veterans and Family Snacks = Hospital (because of our CBOC project!) and the dangling earrings = Scholarship as they appear like tassels. Everyone had tons of fun and I feel assured that our members as well as the VFW comrades felt appreciated and honored.
