Welcomes you to the 2011-2012 Department of Texas VFW Ladies Auxillary Website

To the Dear Sisters of Texas:

     As we begin yet another year working for our veterans and communities, we must make sure that we remember why we joined this great organization. We joined because we had a heartfelt passion to help our veterans, communities, and youth.We as an organization have an obligation to teach and educate the public on all of our programs and our Departmant chairmen for this year have worked very hard to prepare information to ensure that we educate, inform, and assist our communities in every way.

     We must honor our veterans old and young, active and retired. We have many programs available to aid the military on duty, their families here at home, veterans at home, veterans in hospitals and/or nursing facilities. We must utilize them at every opportunity and never at any time forget what we are here for.

     Take pride in your Auxiliaries and your VFW post home. Work WITH your VFW Post in every way. Stay out of VFW business. Forget petty jealousy and power struggles. Get along with your Auxiliary sisters and VFW members. We are all different and there will always be differences of opinion but there is no reason for dissension among members. So work on these issues each and every day and practice getting along with others. A smile, a friendly hello, a thank you and a simple please, go a long way.

     Sisters, you can work the programs and have fun while you do it. You don’t have to dread going to meetings or events. When a member steps up and presents a tasteful, fun way to raise money, complete an event or present a program, listen, it just might be worth listening to. There are many auxiliary sisters just waiting for the chance to show what they can do, to help with their favorite program or to just help!!! Give new members with new ideas a chance!

     I am looking forward to serving for and with you this year. Texas has the very best Ladies Auxiliary in the USA and we can without a doubt prove that in every way this year in our programs, membership, attitude, and the care we give our veterans. I am also looking forward to working with Commander John Spahr as he is definitely an asset to the Department of Texas.

  We are 

“Going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty to Help Our Veterans”

 and have an awesome year doing it, and, we will

  “Step Up- Never Leave A Veteran Behind”  

while doing it.

Loyally and with Love      

Sharon Helton
