Review for VFW National Home , Eaton Rapids, MI, USA
Aloha from Hawaii, I have been a volunteer for the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veteran of Foreign Wars for nearly 20 yrs. and throughout those years I have been involved as Auxiliary Chairman for National Home for Children as well as just volunteering in fundraising for this purpose. Our Children and Families are special to us. We collect UPC Codes from Campbell Soup Labels as well as Prego Labels to help towards their education. We donated monetary gift for their 85th Birthday to help purchase a Mini Bus along with a Birthday Card. We donated to the Children's Christmas funds so they would have something to enjoy at Christmas time. Hawaii and Alaska also sponsors a home there and make sure that the maintenance cost is solid, by contributing to the finance of these homes. When I first saw these children and families at my very first National Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah few years ago, I knew then, that all our efforts all worthwhile!! I am now our Department President for our Ladies Auxiliary and I continue to encourage our Ladies to contribute to this worthy cause and they have been doing a great job even in this most difficult times..I am so Proud of them and "We Believe" in what we are doing and continue to do. Paula Kalanikau, LAVFW Dept. Pres. Hawaii
