Share our Story - We have to continue to find creative ways to showcase the work we do to support veterans, their families, and the community.

• Get to know your local newspaper, radio, and television reporters.
• Share information at community functions and meetings you might attend.
• Share on your auxiliary’s social media.
• Request to post information on:  
• Post’s website or social media
• Dept of WA Auxiliary social media
• Local social media pages with large followings which align with event effort and mission.
• WDVA events (www.dva.wa.gov/calendar) to submit your event to the calendar)

 

NEW Call to Action - Legacy Auxiliary Member Video  

Each auxiliary has active legacy members involved in the regular activities of the organization. National is asking that we start capturing the stories of our own legacy auxiliary members with video interviews. There will be a National citation for every auxiliary who submits a 3–5-minute video interview with a legacy Auxiliary member. You will complete an entry form to send along with your video(s) to Dept Chairman by March 31, 2024. Multiple videos can be sent.

Sending videos can be challenging based on the size of the file. Here are some options to consider when sending large video files:

• Google Drive (max 10 GB file size)
• Drop Box
• YouTube
• Thumbdrive

 

 

Save the Date – National Presidents Visit: The National Presidents visit is projected to take place 27-29 March 2024. This will be a Puget Sound based route during her stay. More details to come soon.

 

Department President Travels: If you have pictures and information from Department President Rose’s travels, official visits, and other official functions feel free to email me 2-3 pictures, the date, event / activity title, and a short write up on the adventure. Your assistance will help to build her keepsake to commemorate her year.
