Mary and I want to welcome you
to another year of Hospital work. We feel it is a privilege to be the Chairmen
of this important program and we want to congratulate you and look forward to
working with you during this 2007 – 2008 term of office.
Donna has selected “Catch the
Spirit in serving Our Veterans” as her theme and what better way to Catch the
Spirit than making the time to visit our Veterans who are confined in the VA
Medical Centers and VA Nursing Homes as well as local Hospitals and Nursing
Homes.
Every Auxiliary has the
capability of participating in this program by making:
Hospital Pledge
Hospital General
Fund
Hospital Donations
Visits to residents
Sponsor parties
Remember that all monetary
donations must go through the Department Office in order to receive your credit.
We continue to participate in
the Hospitalized Veterans Writing Program and this year the National
Organization has asked that we take on “Remember our Hospitalized
Veterans on Veterans Day 2007, by thanking them for our freedom”. We can do
this by visiting the Veterans on the Holiday (or close to it) at Nursing Homes,
Hospitals, Veterans’ Homes and Veterans’ Medical Centers. Present them with a
small remembrance, such as Operation Uplink Cards, Buddy Poppies and
treats. Wear your Auxiliary uniform showing you represent the Ladies Auxiliary
VFW.
Get the youth of your community
involved. Many students have community service requirements, check with the
local schools let them know of our program and ask them to get involved. The
James H. Parke Memorial Youth Scholarship is a special award for the youth.
Let them know about it. There are also awards for “Outstanding Hospital
Volunteers”. We really need to blow our own horn and let the world
know what we do and what better way than by recognizing one of our own.
One major change in reporting
this year is that it is the Auxiliary Chairman’s responsibility to see that all
reports are sent to the respective chairman. Report form 1 and 2 are to be
made out before or during your visit, making sure the VAVS Representative signs
the form, make a copy for your Auxiliary file and mails the forms to Hospital
Chairman, Janet Long. Form 3 is to be made out and sent to Co-chairman, Mary
Hartenberger.
Check the Program for awards
and deadline dates. Contact us if you have any questions.
We are here to help you help
our Veterans and remember:
EVERY DAY IS VETERANS DAY THANK
THEM FOR YOUR FREEDOM
