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.
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.
Department of WA Annual Convention
Join the Department of Washington VFW in Wenatchee for convention business, officer reports, elections, training, fellowship, and a full weekend of engagement.
Thursday includes various training sessions and committee meetings in the morning with a joint business session in the afternoon and a National Representatives Meet & Greet at 7pm.
Friday continues the Business sessions with committee reports, news, and awards. In the evening there is a Banquet.
Saturday concludes the Business sessions including final reports from exiting officers and election and installation of new officers.

Because this event is here in Wenatchee, we are being tasked with handling the Registration tables. Volunteers will be needed – see the sign-up sheet at the Post or contact a member of our Post Leadership.
District 7 meeting
Representatives of Posts from around WA District 7 converge at our Post Home for quarterly meetings.
A joint potluck lunch is shared with the Auxiliaries starting at noon, meetings start at 1pm.
Annual Veterans Picnic
All veterans and active duty military members and their families are invited to join VFW Post 3617 and American Legion Post 10 as they host their annual picnic at Walla Walla Point Park in Wenatchee. The picnic will be held at Picnic Shelter #1, which is by the Swim Beach and Bathrooms. Bring your lawn chair and a side dish.
Menu for the day typically includes burgers, brats, and fresh corn-on-the-cob, accompanied by potluck side dishes, desserts, sodas and water.
We’ll have games, raffles, good food and camaraderie.
Hope to see you there!
