Our Auxiliary

We as the members of the Auxiliary are dedicated to helping our War Veterans with support emotionaly and/or financialy. As members we conduct fund raisers so we can accomplish some of our goals. Additionaly we reach out to youth groups to help them learn the proper etiquet of presenting and retiring our American flag.

Membership in the Auxiliary

Unfortunatly not everybody can join the Auxiliary. But you would be suprised that many of you could be eligible. The key factor is if you are related to a person who is eligable to join the VFW. The VFW eligable person does not have to be a member of the VFW for you to join the Auxiliary, just need the paperwork. It would be nice if the eligible person did become a member. On a sad note, the eligible person does not have to be living.

This link to the National Auxiliary Membership page has all the information needed to become a member of the Auxiliary. Eligibility Information

For more information contact our Membership Chairperson Desiree, click her email link on the left.

Our Auxiliary's Programs

Below are some of the programs we conduct throughout the year to raise money and support the War Veterans and bring awareness of Patriotism to the Community.

1. "Buddy Poppy" The link we have will take you the VFW's "Bubby Poppy" page, which will provide you with a much better and richer experience then we can. All I can say as the "Buddy Poppy" Chairperson is when you see a "Buddy Poppy" display do your best to make a donation for a "Buddy Poppy". if you cannot make a donation, DO NOT SHY AWAY. Just tell us and we will give you one. I would like you to spread the word about the help the "Buddy Poppy" program provides for our War Veterans.
