Greetings Auxiliary Members!
The 2023-2024 year is winding down. There is still time for all Auxiliaries to show that we support our Veterans and their struggles to return to civilian life and the issues with suicide by purchasing Phil’s beautiful pins.
Phil has chosen Operation Veteran Strong as his special project. Operation Veteran Strong is a Colorado based non-profit set up as a useful tool just for US Veterans navigating civilian life. This help is 100% FREE to our Veterans and confidential. Here our Veterans can get the tools they need to get things done. They can connect on their own terms with Veterans benefits, VSO contacts, outdoor recreation, employment, financial support, education, family ad spouse supports, Vet groups, VFW’s, community support and so much more. They also specialize in mental health programs and help with Suicide Awareness.
Phil’s special project pin is a beautiful purple and teal ribbon pin, with the Auxiliary emblem in the middle. The pin’s colors are from the suicide prevention ribbon. They signify hope and courage for those who have attempted suicide and remembrance for those who lost their battle. They truly represent President Phil’s special project that is dear and true to him – Suicide Awareness by proving “WE VALUE EVERY VETERAN!”
There are still a few Auxiliaries that have NOT purchased any pins. Our State Standing Rules require that each Auxiliary purchase at least ten (10) pins. LET’S MAKE THAT HAPPEN BEFORE STATE CONVENTION and show Phil our love and reach 100% in sales.
Pins can be purchased by mailing an order along with the monies to pay for the requested number of pins. Once I receive the order form, I will send your requested number of pins to you via USPS. The cost per pin is $3 and you are allowed to resell the pins for $3. If you resell the pins at a higher cost, you are required to send the extra monies into Department of Colorado VFW Auxiliary. All monies raised from this pin are to go to Operation Veteran Strong.
I’m still CHALLENGING each and every Auxiliary member to save $0.25, $7.75 a month or $91.25 a year, and donate to Phil’s Special Project. Bring your quarters to the State Convention in June and let’s fill the Operation Veteran Strong birdhouses with our quarters!!! It is already getting heavy.
And the CHALLENGE to each and every Auxiliary member to give $1 a month or $12 a year to Phil’s Special Project. This money can also be mailed to me at PO Box 533, Mancos, CO 81328 or brought to me at State Convention.
Also, for those Auxiliaries that have been collecting pop tops off of the beer and soda cans – you can take the to your local aluminum collector, have them weighed and send the money to Department earmarking it for Phil’s Special Project. Or you can bring them to me at State Convention. They are too heavy to mail. I will get them weighed at my local distributor and send the money to State. Let’s raise some money for our Veterans!!
