V.F.W. Auxiliary
elects new officers
By Neda Wesley
Secretary, Elliot Palmer
V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary
Officers for 2002 were
chosen in April, and were le
gally under oath during the
same month. Newly elected
State of Oregon President
Judy Jackson officiated.
By the sweat of the fund
raisers we have paid each
member's dues for 2001-02,
which needs to be reim
bursed to the Auxiliary.
New members are
Roberta "Bobbi" Suppah,
Madene Meanus, Muriel
Suppah, Lois Knight and
Janice Smith Hardin.
The new members have
paid their $15 dues. Year
2002-03 dues are now due.
To date the local Auxil
iary has paid all national,
state and district dues, as well
as the treasurer's bond, call
ing cards for our loved ones
who are presently in the ser
vices, cancer and hospital in
surance for all our member
ship. Also, we have donated
$300 toward the Eyerly
firefighters for bottled water
and antiseptic moist
towclcttcs. Good job, fund
raisers. During the 2001 veterans
nationally recognized day,
the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary
and Post were in a dilemma.
We had no place to serve our
annual veterans dinner, and
host a program to recognize
our soldiers who answered
the call to defend our coun
try. It was during this same
time my dear friend and rela
tive Nina Rowe's funeral was
happening. I opted to cook
for the veterans honor din
ner. I told my good friend
and sister Nina, "I'm glad I
was forever here for you dur
ing your difficult time, go in
peace sister."
There will be tradi
tional story telling, a
fine art market spon
sored by Indian Art
Northwest, traditional
arts and crafts demon
strations, tribal danc
ing and drumming.
10 p.m., and includes the fol
lowing performers: Obo Addy,
Jim Basnight, Native Roots,
Bobby Torres, Charmaine
Neville.
The entertainment on Sun
day, from 11 a.m. till 9 p.m.,
includes performances by:
Boka Marimba, Spider Mocca
sin, Arigon Starr, Portland All
Star Band, and Curtis Salgado.
For information, call 503-238-3570.
Regarding the festival's chil
dren art contest: Each child
who brings to the event a piece
of artwork representing the
theme Salmon and Water will
receive free admission on Sat
urday, entry into the art con
test, and a sticker for free ad
mission on Sunday.
Indian Art Northwest arti
sans will judge entries on Sat
urday afternoon.
On Sunday, Aug. 4, prizes
will be awarded to the young
artists in three age groups (5
and younger, 6-12, and 13-17.)
The award ceremony will hap
pen on the main stage.
' I want to especially thank
Austin Greene for preparing
the community center for
our dinner, parade-in and
the program.
We realize it took hard
work to arrange the gym for
this event. We also know
Austin was honoring his fa
ther and uncles who served
in the wars. A big thank-you
is better late than never, Aus
tin. We also want to thank the
members of the Shaker
Church for allowing us to
cook at the church, and to
all the labor that was endless
for this event.
It has been brought to our
attention through the na
tional headquarters that
many of our veterans do not
have completed discharge
dates that coincide with the
national headquarters'
records, according to the in
formation taken from an ar
ticle from the Madras Pio
neer. In order for you to re
ceive the benefits or honors
due you, we would like to
have your records of what
branch you were in.
Information would in
clude entry dates and dis
charge dates, as well as which
years and countries you were
in. We do not intend to over
look any veterans who are
due the recognition that vet
erans deserve.
I would also like to en
courage all our members to
make an effort to be present
at our monthly meetings on
the first Tuesday of each
month. The trustees need to
get together and audit the
treasurer's books, and the
secretary's records. Future
planning include auction
sales, luncheons and a big
flea market to go toward the
Honor Monument for our
veterans, which will be lo
cated near The Museum at
Warm Springs.
