Scouts Learn About Service at Post 3063

Comrade Aly Teeter, also an officer in the Washington Air National Guard, speaks to Navigators Troop #309 about service, the military and the VFW, Nov. 3, 2021 at VFW Post 3063. The children then decorated posters for Post 3063 veterans and worked on a service project to collect donations for the charity Birthday Dreams.

Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Fundraiser a Success

After a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, the post’s annual in-person Spaghetti Dinner went on without a hitch Saturday, Oct. 23. It was a wonderful dinner, courtesy of Chef Kay and her amazing team. There was also a raffle for select items and a virtual auction. If you missed out on the action and want to contribute to our Relief Fund, you can mail a check to the post or donate via our PayPal link. All donations are tax deductible! Thank you to everyone who pitched in and participated!
