HOSPITAL
PLEDGE
$.50
per member (if possible) is due in September of each year and is based
on your membership as of June 30, 2011 (earmark and send to Department
Treasurer.) Allotments to VA Clinics and Hospitals to be used by the
VAVS Representatives, are based on the money we receive. The sooner
you get this pledge in, determines how quickly VAVS Reps receive their
money to help our veterans.
PATIENTS DAY OUT/IN
You can take a
patient out for the day or hold a luncheon at your post. If a patient
is unable to leave a facility or their home, do something for them as
a treat IN their home or
facility. When you do this, be sure and get pictures and
if possible get it in the newspaper. Go to the nursing homes and
adopt a vet for the year-and make it an ongoing thing for the whole
year, focusing on birthday and other special holidays.
