VVA/VSF CFC CAMPAIGN FOR VVA’s VETERAN
SERVICE OFFICER PROGRAM GETS UNDERWAY
The entire organization of VVA, National Board of Directors, State
Councils, and Chapters are requested to take on this effort. This campaign
should spearhead new milestones. States have different requirements to
participate in their own CFC events.
The task force needs and requests help from all of our members.
All State Councils that are receiving funds from VVA through the VSF need
to make the effort to participate in this year’s CFC Campaign. This IS a
requirement of receiving funds. State Councils who DO NOT have a
Veteran Service Officer program and no stake in the campaign, we also
request your help. Helping your fellow veterans is no easy task.
“Never Again Shall One Generation Of Veterans Abandon Another”
That is our founding principle. The Veteran Service Officer Program has
done much for many, but still much remains to be done. Most CFC
Campaigns should be underway now or just beginning. We urge you to
check out your nearest campaign contacts and get involved.
VVA, as an organization, must continue to make sure our Veteran Service
Officer Programs remain and grow and helping our fellow veterans.
The CFC Task Force wishes to thank all State Councils, Chapters and
VVA members, in advance, who will get involved in this year’s
campaign. We also need to thank the Officers of the Veteran Support
Foundation for their continued support.

You might want to blast this to your whole list. I just stopped to buy a couple of the Veteran’s raffle tickets and for each one you purchase between now and the 16th, you receive a free $5 mega millions lottery ticket.
The tickets I received were for this Friday’s drawing and after Friday they will be for next weeks drawing. It is great to see that the State is really promoting our raffle.
By the way, my raffle tickets were 61000 plus.

Please pass this around.

On September 29, 2011, the Memorial Post 212 of Sumas celebrates its 65th anniversary. Some 29 veterans formed the post on September 29, 1946.

To honor this day, we are celebrating with two dinners. One dinner on Friday, September 30 with hamburgers by donation only. A dessert will be provided. The second dinner will be held the next night, October 1 where there will be spaghetti and garlic toast. That dinner will be by donation only, as well. Again, desserts will be provided!

All veterans at the vet center and at the VVA are especially welcome out here in Sumas. Both dinners will be held from 5-89 PM at the Legion Hall, 134 Harrison Street in Sumas. Hope to see you there!

Thanks, Jim.
