"No One Does More for Veterans"
Veteran patients at the Seattle VA Medical Center need OUR help! Post 3063 lost its VA volunteer coordinator and we need someone to step up and take charge of this important duty. This position will need to coordinate with the hospital and the post to set up hospital visits during holidays. The post has been absent previous holidays and we’ve heard that veterans have noticed.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact Quartermaster Rodenberger at [email protected].
Would you like to know about local veteran deals or volunteering? Well you’re in luck: the post has created email lists for veteran deals and volunteer opportunities! Once you’re a member of the group mailing list, you’ll have the ability to share information with the entire list.
You can now sign up for each list by emailing Adjutant Aly Teeter at [email protected] or text/call at 206-701-9259.
The Women Veterans Summit will be September 16, 2017 at the Lynnwood Convention Center. Registration is free and open here.

Registration is free for all veterans and current members of the armed forces, but donations and sponsorships will be gladly accepted.
