Greetings
Brothers and Sisters.
Fall
is here, and with it comes a wonderful opportunity to refresh, refocus, and get
excited about the year ahead!
District
Presidents, I want to encourage each of you to make program training a priority
at your fall District meetings. Our programs are the heart of the work we do,
and training gives our members the tools, confidence, and inspiration to turn
great ideas into meaningful action.
Your fall District meeting is the perfect
time to bring Auxiliary members together, share program information, exchange
ideas, and celebrate the possibilities ahead. Take the time to explain the
programs, answer questions, encourage participation, and—most importantly—help
your members see how much fun and fulfillment can come from getting involved!
When we learn together, we grow together.
When we work together, we make a difference
together!
I
encourage every District President to create an atmosphere where members leave
their fall meeting feeling informed, inspired, and ready to get involved. A
member who understands a program is much more likely to embrace it, and an
excited member can inspire an entire Auxiliary!
To
every member of the Department of Oregon VFW Auxiliary: THANK YOU! Thank you
for giving your time, sharing your talents, showing up when you are needed, and
always keeping our veterans and their families at the heart of what we do.
Every phone call, every event, every volunteer hour, every smile, and every act
of kindness makes a difference. Never underestimate the impact of what you do.
You are making a difference in the lives of veterans, their families, and your
communities!
Let’s head into
this year with enthusiasm, teamwork, and a willingness to try something new.
Let’s encourage one another, celebrate our successes, learn from our
challenges, and have some fun along the way!
Together, we can make this an incredible year for the Department of Oregon VFW Auxiliary! Let’s get out there and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
