We host and participate in a number of events both at our Post Home as well as in the community. Below are some of our upcoming events.
If you are holding an event and would like our participation or support, or you are interested in using our Hall, please contact us.
Vietnam War Veterans Day
A celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War will take place on March 29, 2025 at Wenatchee Valley College in the Student Rec Center starting at 2pm.
Sponsored by all the veteran organizations in our area, the celebration will honor every Vietnam veteran from Chelan and Douglas counties that were killed during the conflict. Additionally, a special thank you to the military nurses that cared for our wounded will take place.
The Apollo Club and Wenatchee Orchestra will perform.
Color and Honor Guards from Wenatchee Valley VFW and the American Legion will be presenting colors and providing a rifle salute during the program.
Wenatchee and East Wenatchee Mayors will be presenting a 50th Anniversary pin to those qualifying veterans in attendance.
The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
Community Breakfast
On the First Thursday of each month, members of our Post and Auxiliary join with community members for a breakfast at Country Inn in East Wenatchee. One lucky guest will win a free breakfast, too!
Business Meeting
Monthly business meeting for Post membership.
Our meetings are being held in a hybrid format (both in person and via Zoom). If you’d like to join from the comfort of home, please send a message to webmaster@vfwpost3617.org for the Zoom login details.
Buddy Poppy Drive
Tabling at various locations to distribute Buddy Poppies and receive donations for our Veterans Relief Fund.
Volunteers needed. Shifts are 3 hours (9am to noon, or noon to 3pm).
Quarterly Luncheon
We will be holding our next luncheon on Thursday, June 12 at 11:30am at the Olive Garden in East Wenatchee. For this event you will be responsible for your own tab.
As always, it would be nice to let our host know how many people will be attending so they can ensure they have the proper staffing. So please RSVP with Commander Pieratt so he can provide a headcount.
