Next Meeting will be February 15 @ 6:30 p.m.

Due to the recent increase in Covid cases, we are cancelling the December meeting. Typically the January meeting was skipped in the past so we will regroup in February. We will have our post holiday celebrations at that time.  

If you already purchased items to benefit VA new mothers, please hold them until February. Items such as baby wipes, diapers, formula, clothes, etc. will be collected and delivered in February.

More information to follow after the holidays. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! - Stay safe.

Junior Activities

Our 2020-2021 Department of Ohio Junior President remains Samantha Altman. She has chosen an awesome Department of Ohio Junior Project for the 2020-2021 Year. Her “Color Your World” project involves donating adult and children coloring books, markers, colored pencils, crayons, puzzles, etc. Items will be put together in individual bags which will be donated to the various Veteran facilities throughout Ohio and to our Homebound Veterans. During this pandemic, feeling isolated is very real issue and the goal is to provide a calming activity to remind our Veterans we appreciate and care about their well-being.

The Cincinnati VA Medical Center continues to thank you for your generosity in giving back to our American heroes. Currently, our community partner is unable to fulfill our food pantry order with all of the items that are needed. As such, we would like to ask for your assistance with our efforts to ensure that our 3 food pantries are able to provide the protein items in short supply.

 

Bring items to our monthly Auxiliary meetings
