New Disabled American Veterans Chapter 7 Grand Opening in Carson City

Attention family members of any disabled American Veteran in the Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, Dayton, TRE, Topaz, Lake Tahoe, Yerington or anywhere south of Washoe Valley: We are starting an Auxiliary for DAV Chapter 7 in Carson City.

Our first meeting will be a Sept. 19 dinner at beginning at 5:30 p.m. The dinner features spaghetti, garlic bread, salad and homemade cookies by the Auxiliary. The dinner will be followed by a meeting at 6 p.m that will be open so prospective members may experience whats we are about.

The dinner and presentation will be at the 124 West Second Ave, and Curry Street, Carson City Veterans Hall.

DAV Auxiliary Unit 7 will focus on our Disabled American Veterans as per our BYLAWS dictate, but we will have fun doing it!

We will have classes during our meetings on CAREGIVER assistance I.E. proper lifting techniques, handling wheel-chaired Veterans, daily living difficulties, ect; teaching our children and grandchildren that our Veterans are to be loved and respected not feared and/or distanced because of a weird looking limbs or attachments.

We want to help the children/grands understand about about their veteran in which to love and adore not separate or Isolate.

We will cook homemade dinners and baked goods for our DAV Chapter and Aux Unit meetings. We will run like the wind to spread the word and Forget Me Nots all over Carson City and surrounding areas, we will HONOR our fallen Veterans during our National Holidays, we will have fun Fundraisers, and I would love to see all eligible family members and veterans March/roll in our parades or ride in our Parent Chapters Volunteer Vans!

We would love to have our heroes and their families (SPOUSES, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, step parents. nieces, nephews, children, grandchildren) from ANY generation of current Active/Reserves/Guard, veterans of OIF/OEF, Gulf War, Kosovo, Somalia, Grenada, Panama, Vietnam, Korea, the great wars and just plain accidents while in the military causing ANY disability.
