Legionnaires – Volunteers Needed for Poppy Distribution on Veterans Day Weekend

/in /by

Comrade Legionnaires.

The annual Veterans Day weekend Poppy Distribution is on Friday, 6th November & Saturday, 7th November at the Giant Food Store in Ashburn Village.

Please see the attached sign-up sheet for the 3 or 3 1/2 hour shifts involved for you to pick to volunteer on this 2-day event. We really need at least two Legionnaires for each shift. But three is better and as always the more the merrier. If you have never participated in the poppy distribution, give it a try, you may enjoy it. I think that those that participated in the past have enjoyed the event. I certainly do.

Please look over the sign-up sheet and if you would like to volunteer for any shift contact me. If you cannot work a full shift, no problem. Any amount of time that you can volunteer is helpful and appreciated.

[Preferred uniform is a sport coat and tie with Legion cap if you have one; alternate uniform is smart casual with Legion cap if you have one.]

Also, for you information I have attached the Story of the Poppy, Veterans Day and Memorial Day flyers.

See You At The Poppy Distribution
