Community Outreach
The VFW has announced the first ever Day of Service check the link out for more information. VFW Day of Service
We are working on some community outreach ideas and partnering events.
My self and Keith are going to work on some partnering events with the SVA at MTSU, were we can get some grant money to help the SVA conduct
Veteran events on campus.
Also we are looking into doing a Adopt a Highway through TDOT along New Salem Highway, this would be with the SVA, and would provide volunteer hours for both the post and the SVA.
I have also reached out to The Project Healing Field that is every Memorial Day Weekend to see if there is any thing we can do to help this year and this is what I got so far. See Below for what they need help with:
Thursday Morning help lay out the Field, about 2-3 hours.
Monday night after closing help pull flags and store on trailer.6-8
Weekend - “runners” to tag flags; help visitors find their flag; maintenance on field.
Before event: find $ sponsors and flag sponsors.
More information to come.
