A Huge shout out to the ladies (and Bob and Carl) for preparing and serving the meal in September. Food nights have been a great hit again, and with the added bonus of the drive up, we are able to serve more people. October food night will consist of: Slice pork loin, baked potato, glazed carrots, and a dessert. We will be taking a little break in November and December, due to Thanksgiving and Christmas, but encourage you to support the other organization on their food nights, the fish fry, breakfast, and Steak nights.

If you missed it last month about our membership drive, we will not be have a dinner in October, as we have done in the past. Instead, with your paid membership, you will be receiving your membership card and also a certificate for a free meal during one of the upcoming AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary food night. The certificate will be good only on the night our ladies are serving and will be good through September 2021. As a group we felt this was a way to keep the members safe and comfortable and still encourage them to continue to support AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary by paying the dues of $25.00 per year. If you have not done so, please send a check to:

Mary Steinbach 901 7th Ave. NW Waverly, Iowa 50677 or use AMVETS PO Box 93 Waverly, Iowa 50677.

I am also trying to update addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. If any of this has changed lately, please contact me 319-230-9318 or send an email to mjonlyu@outlook.com

We will be having a meeting in October on the 21 @ 6 pm. If you have never been to a meeting, are new to the organization, or it’s been awhile, we would love to have you attend. We are always looking for new ideas to support the Veteran and their family, volunteer through the community, and hospitals, and give encouragement to our future leaders by supporting our youth.

If you do volunteer, let us know! As an organization we record this, report this to the National AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary to validate us as a Veterans Service Organization. By reporting, this gives the organization strength in numbers when they address congress concerning Veteran issues and benefits. I volunteer, What’s your super power.
