Remembrance Report & Veteran Volunteer of the Year
By
Walter E.
Birdsell PDD, Elks National Veterans Service Commission State
Chairman
|
A Veterans
Remembrance Report was sent to every lodge in late October, 2009.
Please fill it out and return to your District Deputy before January
15, 2010.
If your
report is missing, your District Deputy may have extra reports. Even
if you did nothing, please sign and return it. A report is requested
from every lodge, and Connecticut will receive a 100% rating.
Nomination
for Veteran Volunteer of the year must be submitted by letter, not
to exceed 300 words, to me before January 31, 2010

Our
Programs
(from
http://www.elks.org/vets/programs.cfm)
(This is a list of the
Nationally sanctioned Veterans-oriented projects. Many more have been
established on a state-to-state and Lodge-to-Lodge basis.)
Youth/Veteran
Volunteer Program: This innovative new program allows us to fulfill our
commitment to America's youth while continuing to serve our nation's veterans.
Adopt-a-Veteran
Program: Like an army of hope, Elks everywhere are living up to their
pledge to hospitalized veterans.
Featured
Veteran: Two new profiles: Joseph Kowaleski and Tom Layow.
Veterans
Leather Program: VA medical centers across the country rely on the Elks
for tooling leather used in occupational and recreational therapy.
Veterans Remembrance: Remembering our veterans is a daily proposition
for the Elks. Nevertheless, each November we redouble our efforts.
Re-Creation USA: This group of entertainers travels the nation,
performing at VA medical centers, and they couldn't do it without the Elks.
Playing Cards for Veterans: The Elks now offer playing cards for
hospitalized veterans.
