April Newsletter

Derek - 4/25/2025

 VFW Poppy Program

Each year the VFW hands out Poppies to help remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.  Any donations received from Poppies, goes into our Veteran Relief fund. Last year the fund paid out over $3000 helping out Veterans in need.

 VFW Popcorn Friday--April, for the 3rd Month was sponsored by Werlinger Auto Body of Sturgis and May will be sponsored by Aaron Isom, Director of Black Hills National Cemetery.

The second Friday of every month is Popcorn Friday. The Post members will go out to Ft Meade Hospital and pop and serve popcorn to all Veterans and Staff. It is a great time, so schedule your appointments for the morning of the 2nd Friday of the month.  Want to be a sponsor of the Popcorn Friday? Cost is $100 and your name or company is printed on the labels that go on every bag we give out.   We also give a verbal to the recipient as to who sponsored the month. 

This year on May 3, 2025 we will be joining thousands of VFW members across America during the 4rd Annual VFW Day of Service.  We will be doing two projects this year. One will be cleaning along side Old Hwy 14 and the other will be collecting food and giving away free bingo. You will receive $2 of bingo play for each item up to $10 each Friday during May.
