Dear Sponsor:
The Veterans of
Foreign Wars was founded 105 years ago to help Veterans, and we
today at the National, State, and Local level still believe in
this. Our National Charter, given to us by The Congress of The
United States says that we will “assist worthy comrades; … and to
assist their widows and orphans”. We are not only serving our
veterans on active duty and their families, but are also serving the
communities in which they live.
Post 4108 of
Redmond is having a fundraiser dance on April 30th. The
monies, which we will raise, will go toward helping veterans of all
types, we have approximately 230 troops overseas from Central
Oregon at this time. The Veterans Home in The Dalles has 106
veterans in it, 24 in the Alzheimer’s ward, and thirteen veterans
that are woman.
The V.F.W. post
here in Redmond has for 50+ years been supporting it’s veterans and
their families as well as the community in which we take pride in
living. Post 4108 of Redmond was recognized by the National V.F.W.
for being the best in the state of Oregon last year in Community
Service, and by the Bend National Guard for the support that we gave
them last year while they were deployed. We are very proud to
continue to serve our country in this way.
Each Year our
Post sends thousands of dollars to help our veterans and we are
asking you as a proud member of this community to help us to help
more veterans and their families and the community in which we
live.
The fundraiser
is a Dance , we need door prizes to give out each hour. Each
sponsor will be mentioned many times during the evening. We will
also be advertising on radio and TV. Sponsors will be mentioned in
these advertisements. The tickets will be $5.00 each and can be
used as a tax-deductible expense.
We are looking
for donations for door Prizes and one or more Big Prizes for Grand
Prizes that the public can win regardless of whether they are there
or not. This should help boost ticket sales.
If you have any
questions please contact me at 548-6990 in the evenings or leave a
message during the day.
Remember we are
supporting the veterans not Wars they fought in or are now fighting
in. We want to make things better for those who have and those who
are now serving our Country.
Sincerely,
Dennis G.
Guthrie
