We Have Found a Santa! Team Home Depot has stepped up and volunteered to Santa it up for the Post Auxiliary Christmas Party this year!  Quick rundown of the event:

December 10th, 5:30 PM:  Christmas Present Wrapping Party

December 11th, TBD: Food Basket purchases

December 12th, 6 PM:  Christmas Tree Setup

December 13th, 10 AM:  Christmas Party prep and Food Basket set up

December 13th, 12 PM:  Santa arrives, let the Party begin

We will have a Holiday performance from our Guitar for Veterans Group as well as Holiday Karaoke.  Volunteers are needed to coordinate and assist with these events. Santa has been alerted and is standing by.   If you are interested in helping out at one of these events, please get in touch with the Post Senior Vice Commander by clicking on the link and sending a short note. 

Veterans in Need:   

The Post has received requests from Veterans in need in the past few weeks. Here is some info from the Virginia Department of Veteran Services that can help out:

 

In Fairfax or Arlington County:  Contact edwin.robles@dvs.virginia.gov

Outside of Fairfax or Arlington County, fill out a request form on: https://vvn.dvs.virginia.gov/form/VVFSIntakeForm 

If you have the resources to donate money for assisting anyone, the Virginia Department of Veteran Services recommends donating to:

 

Send a check to:  Northern Virginia Vietnam Veterans of America, PO Box 2111, Reston, VA 20195

Donate to: https://nationofpatriots.networkforgood.com/projects/222597-2024-patriot-tour.

 

Donations: We still have two donation buttons on the weekly update. Here's why. Our legal case is proceeding, as is our Zoning Infractions case. Both of these cases have reached a point where we need to dedicate resources to them. Additionally, we will require at least $36,000 for legal fees for both cases. 

We cannot raise this money by selling beer, wings, and pizza on Friday and Saturday nights. We need donations to support our legal battle against a neighbor with substantial financial resources. 

We have two members who will match donations up to $1,750 per month, but we will need more than that to sustain the fight. 

We are starting to do some great things—Veterans and Memorial Day Ceremonies, supporting Veterans and Military members experiencing Food Insecurity, OPERATION WINTERHAVEN Homeless Veteran Stand Down with the DC VA Hospital, Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets, and parties for Service members in need. 

Please donate here:  Donation to the Post's Legal Defense Fund.

Donation: Our programs support our service members while they are deployed, but they often get discharged long after returning home. Your tax-deductible donation will help serve VFW programs where your support is most urgently needed.
