KANE — VFW Auxiliary to Post 1132 in Kane is establishing a junior membership program to encourage young adults ages 16 to 21 to join the VFW to serve those who served us.
The VFW is looking to increase its membership through the area’s youth and help inspire them to assist our veterans, serve our community and become mentors to other youth by serving as today’s leaders.
Junior members must meet the same requirements as our general membership:
Scholarship awarded will be based on the participation level of the junior members as an individual and the funds raised each year. Members can participate in activities such as the Annual Memorial Day parade and presentation, support during Veterans Day activities, Purple Heart Day, and visit our veterans in the local nursing homes.
The first fundraiser for this scholarship fund is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 and will be in honor of all military members and their families around McKean County.
Anyone would like to join the auxiliary as a member or a junior member or just help with our fundraiser, feel free to reach out to us on facebook at https://facebook.com/1132Auxiliary or call Lisa at 814-360-8096.
