My name is Joseph Smith with the
Department of Nebraska Veterans of Foreign Wars.
We are planning the Proceeds from
the tournament will be used to buy four new buses for the
State's four veterans homes ( The other
program that this tournament will support is Operation
Uplink. Operation Uplink supplies deployed personnel the
ability to call home at no cost. It also makes it possible
for our wounded warriors to call home when they are in a
hospital far from home.
The Department of Nebraska Veterans of Foreign Wars thanks you for your support.

Updated June 9, 2010 Comments from the Commander |

The Post conducted an appreciation
barbeque for local families of deployed military personnel and
for residents of the Eastern Nebraska Veterans Home in Bellevue.
Attendance was higher than prior events of its type run by the
Post in the past 18 months. We will keep doing this sort
of events to show our appreciation for the current and past
veterans and their families, I'm sure the attendance will be
well worth it over time.
On June 22 I will supply bratwursts for the membership meeting.
It will be at Hayworth Park on June 22 at 5:30 pm until the
meeting at 7 pm. Families are welcome at the event, but
will not be invited to participate in the meeting itself.
You will be required to bring your own beverage, I will supply
all food items.
The meetings primary topic is that of the meeting location for the
coming month(s).
On August 6 the Post, headed by Joe Smith (Sr. Vice Commander) will
run the Department of Nebraska VFW Golf Tournament & Fund
Raiser. This event is at the Willow Lakes Golf Course in
Bellevue, NE. Please look on the web site or contact Joe
Smith for details on registering and/or volunteering for this
event. The proceeds of this go to the Veteran Home buses
throughout the State of Nebraska. If success is good we
will do this event again in 2011. Please! Consider
helping your Post, your Department, and most importantly the
Veterans in the Homes across the state.
The Post 2280 family picnic will be September 18. This event
will run from noon until 3 pm. It is at Hayworth Park in
Bellevue at shelter #1. Come on out for free food, and a
lot of good camaraderie. The vet home residents will be
invited as well.
Soon we will be conducting a poppy sale. You should start
hearing or seeing about it in the near future. But you
don't have to wait. Anyone can donate to Post 2280 in a
targeted donation and that is what it will be used for.
The Ladies Auxiliary is
experiencing some difficulty. Their President was forced
to move out of the area and had to step down. The Senior
Vice is moving up and they will soon be electing a new Junior
Vice. They are striving to increase the participation of
ladies in this organization. They are also hoping for some
increased membership via the wives and daughters of current Post
members. If you, as a Post member, have a wife or daughter
you'd like to do more with while volunteering or participating
in rewarding community support events please consider a
membership in the VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
