California members of Theta Mu
chapter support our veterans by helping the local
VFW Auxiliary in a monthly event. The VFW provides
snacks at the local Veterans’ Clinic on the 3rd Friday
of every month.

We read a newspaper article about 5 years ago
that they have been doing this for many years and
could use some help. Since then 2-3 of our members
have been donating food and helping serve every
month to the men and women who come to the
clinic. Many of the vets make sure their appointment
is on that day so they can enjoy the cookies,
pastries, sweetbreads and other goodies.

They are given baggies
and encouraged to take
as much as they want.
Our members often take
biscuits and gravy,
breakfast burritos or
breakfast sandwiches so
there is something besides
the sweets. We especially
love the opportunity to
say a personal “thank
you” to these brave men
and women.

Dorothy Morey and Evelyn Jackson.
