WELCOME TO:
Rim of the World VFW Post #9624
|
Since 1914 the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States has worked to ensure that
America's veterans will not be forgotten and those who need assistance will get it. To help achieve those goals, each
year donations are made to help make life better for active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families, and
America's communities.
Today, the Ladies Auxiliary is involved in a wide range of activities. While continuing to support the VFW and its
causes, the Ladies Auxiliary has developed a social existence of its own. With the extraordinary goal of helping
families in distress, its members perform community service, fund cancer research, fight drug abuse and illiteracy,
advocate for the rights of the elderly, and support the VFW National Home, Special Olympics, and other worthy
causes.
Membership has been broadened to include not only wives of VFW members, but also their mothers, Stepmothers,
widows, sisters, half-sisters, daughters, grandmothers, and granddaughters. Foster mothers and foster daughters
are also eligible, provided their relationship with the VFW member predates his military service. Persons who were or
are eligible for membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Members must be citizens of the
United States and at least 16 years old to join the Ladies Auxiliary. Children 6 to 15 are welcome to join a post with a
Junior's Program.
There are plenty of things to do at our Post and I am sure the same goes for other Posts. So come by and meet new
people and get involved with your local veterans.
