VFW Ladies Auxiliary – Installation of Officers
September 10, 2010 – Katy, Texas – The Ladies Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9182 has elected new officers. We commend these outstanding women for their volunteerism assisting veterans and their families, while simultaneously strengthening our community. The Ladies Auxiliary lives by the motto, “Honor the dead by helping the living.” They set out to serve the veterans of this country and our communities as a testament to the sacrifices and commitment of every man and women who has served in uniform, says, Barbara Lynch, President. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month at the VFW Hall on George Bush Drive in old Katy at 6:30 for dinner and 7:30 p.m. for a short monthly meeting. Veterans monthly meetings are held at the same time in a separate room. Come enjoy activities as a family and make friendships that you’ll treasure throughout your life and enjoy the camaraderie as you work together helping others, with laughter or at times helping others cope with crises.
