Welcome JD Dryer to the Sons of AMVETS in Waverly. JD has been a member of Cedar Falls for many years and decided upon moving to Waverly to be a part of the Sons of AMVETS in Waverly. JD has been a Department of Iowa Officer.
More local members are always encouraged to attend the monthly meeting. Your involvement will assure that the Sons of AMVETS can continue to provide community support to our town, scholarships for our youth, and aid to our Veterans and their families.
Since there weren’t any Sons of AMVETS that volunteered to help with cans, Will Kurtt has stepped up to continue for now with the cans even though he is not a Son and is funding another WAVP project. We thank him very much, so the bin didn’t need to be closed for the winter.
We need help from Sons of AMVETS members to attend meetings with ideas and support.
Keep our military members, their families, and all Veterans in your thoughts and prayers. Keep them safe and healthy.
Jim Trask and John Mohlis

Nothing new to report
The Sons of AMVETS, as its name implies, is a nationwide organization comprised of the sons of American veterans who are members of AMVETS or a deceased veteran who would have qualified to be an AMVETS member. The Sons play an active role in promoting AMVETS’ legislative agenda, providing services to hospitalized veterans and supporting charitable initiatives. Take a look into your past to see if you can become a member of Sons of AMVETS, or know someone who can join and get them involved.

Upcoming events at the WAVP are Saturday steak nights, a monthly fish fry, and a monthly breakfast. Remember these? We also have Food Nights on most Thursdays, hosted by the various Service Organizations involved with the WAVP.
As we start a new year, please remember our veterans, past and present, along with their families, and what they have contributed and sacrificed for the freedom we have today. Not only does the Sons of AMVETS support our military families, we also work hard in our community and award scholarships.
