A big thank you to all that participated in the annual golf outing. This year, your generosity and participation brought in enough funds to purchase ALL of the wreaths for our 2020 Wreaths Across America project! Thanks to all of the volunteers that helped along the way. Thank you to the individuals that donated a portion of their winnings. Thank you Jim Ware for the Bazooka Cannon and thanks to the Dave Holton team, Chris Betts Team, Pete Gross, Pat Brennan and Mike Brennan. We hope to see you all next year.

Go Fund Me Campaign - Roofing Repairs

10/10/2019

0 Comments

 
There's something to be said about a man with a plan. When Post Member Jeff Humphrey's plan to repair the kitchen roof at our Post didn't go quite as planned, he came up with an alternative. A Go Fund Me Campaign to obtain the funding for the building materials needed to repair our kitchen roof.

Jeff created the Go Fund Me Campaign and published it to our Post's Facebook page to get the ball rolling. Through the powers of social media, Jeff's Go Fund Me Campaign caught the attention of the Alma City Police Department. They pledged their support with a "No Shave November" fundraiser with proceeds supporting our Post's roofing repairs.
Picture
Our Go Fund Me Campaign also caught the attention of the local news, WMEN Channel 5. They sent a crew out to interview Jeff. If you missed the broadcast, you can read the article & watch the news story by clicking HERE.

Thank you Great Lakes Highlanders!
The Great Lakes Highlanders are a statewide Highland Games team. Each member competes at a high and world class competition during the Highland Festival Games in Alma, MI. The Great Lakes Highlanders adopted VFW Post 1454 and donates 100% of the donations collected during a friendly Individual Caber Toss Competition held during noon lunch break on May 26th & 27th. The Great Lakes Highlanders have donated over $2,000 in the last 2 years raised through this caber toss event. Two Great Lakes Highlander members, also Veterans, marched with us in last year's Highland Parade. We ask our Members & Auxiliary to stop by this fun event to cheer on the Great Lakes Highlanders and show them your support. Go Great Lakes Highlanders!

Meet Jackson
Jackson is a PTSD Service Dog and lifetime member of VFW Post 1454. Jackson has a very important job & is trained for many specialized tasks. He enjoys traveling with his Veteran companion, as far away as Washington! Jackson likes to stop by the Post to visit with his friends. He really likes our popcorn and we hear he's pretty sweet on our Club Manager Ellen too!
