Ways to help
Attendance – Ladies, just attending an event makes a difference. Buy a baked good at the bake sale, enjoy a dinner at the post or try your luck at Show the Money. The more people who attend our events, the more money we raise for our charities!
Host/Chairwoman – If you host an event, you decide which AmVets Auxiliary you’d like to support. Hosting is easy, and you can recruit as much help as you need. You DO NOT need to be an officer to host an event. Every member is encouraged to step up and volunteer at least once.
Volunteer – Let us know if you’d like to help out during any of our events. See an officer or the host/chairwoman of the event.
Questions – Ask any officer or the host/chairwoman of the event
