Vickie Rosse
2018-2019 National Hospital Ambassador
It’s almost time to report on our Foundation. Members have been working hard and the progress is amazing. Take time to look around, thank those who are doing a good job and reward them with earned pins and citations.
Here is the last of the bricks:
Sixteen bricks – SWAP stands for Share Wonderful Auxiliary Projects. As members of the SWAP team, watch for these good project/program ideas printed in the Ambassador’s promotional material and VFW Auxiliary Magazine. Spark ideas for building strong Auxiliaries.
Seventeen bricks – National President Sandi Kriebel’s inspirational song is “One Call Away” by Charlie Puth. One line from the song is – “‘Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile.” Members are the base of the foundation.
With each member representing one brick, the Foundation is 470,000 bricks. The strong building represents the strong Auxiliary.
