Text Box: ing each other.                  We all had a great time in Washington D.C. and also at the Holiday party. We can do these things because of the money we make at the fundraiser. We have grown to an organization that is respected by all the other Veterans groups, and we can only get bigger and better. Be a part of it, get involved, join in the fun. We are truly a “Band of Brothers” and it is excellent to belong and be a part of making the organization run.   Text Box: Dear Brothers and Sisters, Well, old man winter is on his way out, hibernation is over, time to get back to work. Our annual fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday April 24, at the VFW. We still need donated items for door prizes, tip boards, and silent auction. So get out there and beat the bushes for stuff, bring it to the VFW at our next monthly meeting, Wed. March 10. This is a way you can help the organization. Also, at the fundraiser, we need the usual cast of folks Text Box: to sell tips, help in the kitchen, etc. This organization is only as good as we make it. Right now we are on the 90/10 program, which is 10% of the people doing 90% of the work! Get involved, we would love to see new faces, and I KNOW you will have a great time helping out. I want to welcome our new members from Portage Vietnam Veterans of America. They are a great bunch of guys and I see great things coming from our two organizations help Text Box: FROM THE PRES’ HOOTCH  BY RICH “Mose” MROZINSKI
