VFW Post at Serb Hall
VETERANS DREAM BECOMES REALITY
In November 2009, five of our parishioners met for the sole purpose of organizing a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post. Four of the five have had similar dreams for quite a few years and have occasionally talked about it. The fifth member was Larry Kutschma, a relatively new member of our community. At that time, Larry was the Commander of the Lake Geneva, WI VFW Post and the Junior Vice Commander for the Department of Wisconsin. He possessed the know how about starting a VFW Post, he was the catalyst, the rest was up to the other four. That was last November, and much has been done since then. Now I am very proud to announce that LANCE SIJAN VFW POST in Milwaukee, WI will officially receive its VFW Charter prior to October 31, 2010. Larry Kutschma is now the Senior Vice Commander for the Department of Wisconsin, CONGRATULATIONS & BEST WISHES.
Most of our Veterans are also our parishioners, however, we have Veterans from California, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia and Arizona who have joined our Post in order to be Charter Members of the ONE AND ONLY VFW Post organized in a Serbian community in the USA. The Post will use the facilities at American Serb Memorial Hall, for its headquarters. U.S. Military Veterans from all over this country may become charter members of our unique VFW Post, but they must act quickly. In order to become Charter Members, applications must be in our hands, and eligibility verified prior to the Inauguration Ceremony.
For assistance please contact: Milos Berich @ 262-514-2674 or 414-412-3250; or Nikola Djilas, Temp. Post Quartermaster @ 414-545-5178. Milos Berich Temp. Post Commander
Purple Box Campaign
Would you be willing to have one less Starbucks coffee, package of cigarettes, or McDonalds Happy Meal each week to help your church?
There are still 400 purple boxes in church and the Cultural Center office which need to be picked up by families. We are still looking for 400 families to take a purple box home and save $1 each day for a year. This will allow OUR church to pay off the mortgage on the Cultural Center addition.
(Boxes are located in the vestibule of the church and in the Cultural Center church office)
* * * * *
Update as of 5/2:
We are now about half way through the campaign. We now have close to $9,000.00 turned in to help our church pay off the expansion mortgage. Thank You!! Please continue to fill your purpole box each day. Money can be turned in at any time. There are still boxes available in church & the Cultural Center church office.
