Day of Service
Thank you to the eight comrades — Wally, Russ, Joe K., Bob L., Harold, Mark, Joe F., and Aly (plus kids) — who came out for our post’s Day of Service May 21. We spruced up the landscaping behind the post, picked up litter around the block, collected Ballard Food Bank donations and passed out Buddy Poppies to passersby. It was a beautiful day for service!
Post 3063 Day of Service
Members of Post 3063 will be join the Inaugural VFW Day of Service by hosting a Ballard Food Bank Drive at the post through May 21, 2022. On May 21, the post volunteers will also pick up litter in the neighborhood, give out buddy poppies and collect donations for the food drive. May 21 is also Seattle’s Day of Service. If you’d like to participate, contact [email protected].
New Addition to Post Library
Did you know that our post has a library specializing in military history and other military subjects? Our library started in 2014, with a donation of books by Comrade Bill Hoeller, who served as Post Librarian for several years. Comrade Pio Park donated the fancy bookcase pictured and the books on its shelves were donated by Comrade Ed Westing.
If you are interested in military subjects, feel free to stop by during office hours or during our monthly meeting or social nights to discover the perfect book. We also accept donations, not only of the military subjects but others as well.
Interested in helping out? We need a new Post Librarian. Please contact QM Harold (206-972-2135) or Post Commander Joe Fitzgerald (206-777-5364) if interested.
