September 2023
Thanks to all that attended the VFW Auxiliary Department of Oregon Trainings. I enjoyed the
energy that everyone is ready to jump in and work the programs again this year. Let’s keep that
energy alive and find creative ways to support our Veterans, Military and Families.
Zoom meetings for the Mentoring program will begin the 3rd week of September. If you didn’t
sign up at the trainings shoot me an email and I will add you to the zoom invite.
Does your Auxiliary or your officers need mentoring on how to set up your own mentoring
program? Please reach out to me and I will assist in coming up with ideas that will work best for
your auxiliary members and your area.
I have been fortunate enough to have many mentors surrounding me as I learned about this
wonderful organization. Even if you are still learning, you may already have the skills to do a few
things well and your skills can help someone in your auxiliary to be a thriving and successful
member.
The more we share in the jobs and duties of each of our auxiliaries the stronger we will be in
serving our veterans miliary and families. Help our members get involved and remind them of
their "why”.
A little housekeeping, this program does not currently have a hashtag so if you are posting on
Facebook, please use the #vfwauxiliary.
Remember to send me reports, by email or snail mail. I will let you know when I receive it.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. And please let me know that you have
received this email.
All ideas are should be heard.
Take an opportunity to expand on what you have done in the past, to continue to help
those ideas and activities move into the future.
