Merry Christmas from Central Oregon!

Hello dear friends. Boy, this year has gone by so fast! It just doesn’t feel like we should be celebrating the holidays already. Thanksgiving came and went and now we are in the Christmas mood to celebrate with family and friends. I hope anyone traveling will enjoy the trip and return safely.

A big thank you to all those who continue to send reports every month. You know who you are! It’s really a great feeling when I read all the reports and see how we as VFW Auxiliaries are helping so many veterans and their families in Oregon. The hours and projects look great. Some of you have wonderful ideas and you are making them work for our veterans in Hospitals and Nursing Homes!

A reminder for all of us is that Christmas is not an easy holiday for some of our veterans, regardless of age. Going to the nursing home or hospital to visit or sending a card with a note would bring so much joy. This small act of kindness could mean so much to a veteran who has no family.

Our obligation of $2 per member is due now. Please send it now if you have not already done so. Our VA Hospitals need the money to buy things for our veterans in the hospitals or Veterans’ homes. We have three (3) VA Hospitals and 2 Veterans’ homes in Oregon that need our support.

Have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
