VETERANS (Dick Wilson, CHAIR) February 2023 435-773-6974
We hope that everyone is having a great start for 2023. Last year was productive for the Veterans Committee but this year will be even better. Homes have opened up and would like us to visit and do things with the Veteran residents. The Ivins VA Home would also like us to provide more help. Right now, the volunteers help with Bingo two days a week and visit with the Veterans. We also take a birthday cake out there once a month. The Activity Director has now asked us to help take some Veterans out for breakfast or lunch to different restaurants. They will put this on their monthly activities calendar. For members that are interested in doing things like this please call me and I will tell you what needs to be done to become a volunteer at the Home. Things are changing all the time as the COVID restrictions are being lifted. If you haven’t noticed the bulletin board by the men’s bathroom it is called Veterans Corner. It has information to keep you up to date on things that are happening in the area and to help veterans know about new conditions for Agent Orange and the Burn Pits. Please check it out on a regular basis for it is there to keep you informed. Note: we assembled Valentine gift bags and cards for the 105 Veterans at Ivins VA Home and will be delivering them on Valentine’s Day. If you know of a Veteran with a need, feel free to contact me. Remember to always reach out to our veterans with care and honor.
