I would like to take this time to thank Valerie Ehlers for this past year of her presidency, for all her hard work and loyalty to the Ladies Aux club, and to the men of the VFW.
I would also like to thank all of the Veterans that have served our country and given their lives to en-sure that our freedom continues. I will do what I can to support the VFW and their families.
My 89 year old father is a WWII Veteran in the Pacific Islands, and Past President, for five years, of Poulsbo/Kingston Post 2463. Every memorial day for the last 10 years my dad and I have placed flags on the Veterans graves at 4 cemeteries in Poulsbo. He had done this for many years prior to my helping him. It is with respect and honor that I do this with my father.
What this Ladies club needs is a shot in the arm with new members. I will bring in many and I would like all of you veterans to ask again your spouse or family members to join the Ladies Aux. We then can sup-port your club activities. Tell them we need new blood and new ideas and new friends.
