Disabled American Veterans Chapter # 17 PO Box 766 Hammond, IN 46320 2015 “Walk for the DAV” Wicker Park Highland, IN th 10 AM June 6 , 2015 To the Community and membership of DAV Chapter #17 our Walk this year is your way to assist in the raising of funds for our Chapter. We go out as members and ask the general public to assist us when we participate in our “Forget Me Not” campaign. Now it is your turn. The Commander and the Board of Directors are asking you to get involved. Ask your friends and family to come out and walk with you or for you and create a level of excitement that is fitting of our Mission. We have seen tremendous involvement by the community in supporting our “Forget Me Not” now let’s get ALL of our membership to support our Annual “Walk for the DAV”. This “Walk” accomplishes two goals for our chapter and ultimately our military veterans: 1. It provides us with funds to assist our veteran community by delivering on the promises of the National DAV organization on a local basis. We do not leave a Veteran behind. 2. This is an opportunity for the DAV Chapter #17 to reach out to our local community and educate them as to who we are and what we do. Bring your friends and family out and create a team, make a morning of it and join with your brothers and sisters along with the community in saying “This is an important organization and we cannot forget what our Veteran Community has sacrificed to protect the Freedom of the United States of America”. We also need the businesses in our community to sponsor us and encourage their employees to get involved by sponsoring their own teams of “Walkers”. This can be done by pledging as a Bronze Star, Silver Star and Medal of Honor Sponsor. See below for pledging details. We have set up a special level of involvement for our schools in our community. Get your students to get family and friends to support their Walk involvement on in as a team. DAV Chapter #17 Walk Details A.
