The board game collection for Support Our Troops is ongoing! We sent out a great batch last month—let’s keep the momentum going! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 URGENT CALL FOR BOARD GAMES FOR THE TROOPS! 🇺🇸

Cell phones, laptops, and most personal electronics have been banned in operational areas due to enemy signal targeting. Our deployed Troops need non‑electronic ways to fill downtime — and the call has gone out nationwide for BOARD GAMES.

🎲 What’s Needed
New or fully used board games

Adult games only (nothing flirty or sexual)

Full‑size games for units once in place

Travel/magnetic/pin games for long flights and transit

Christian board games welcome

Darts, Jenga, Scrabble, dominoes, Monopoly, portable corn hole, ring toss, chess, checkers, jacks, Trivial Pursuit, Sorry, Life, Clue, Yahtzee, etc

Flashcards for Morse code, cursive, and vocational skills

Wood, plastic, pin, or magnetic — all fine

Also, puzzles and playing cards - please tape boxes so the contents don't spill out.

Local Drop-Off at VFW Post 3282 - in the white Auxiliary box in the hallway.

🏷️ Important
Please label all items with “MARTA – Support Our Troops.”
After dropping off, text my number on the Auxiliary board so I know there’s something to pick up.

Let’s help our Troops stay connected, engaged, and supported during long hours with no electronics. Thank you for always stepping up for our veterans and active-duty service members.

🐝 What a fantastic meeting we had last night! We welcomed District 19 President Christine and celebrated all the great work our Auxiliary continues to do for our veterans.

President Chris gave an inspiring “Bee Talk” about pollinating our programs, and President Deb shared heartfelt words about the VFW National Home. Then came the highlight — President Deb presented the Bloomin’ Bucks we’ve already earned for our outstanding reports! 🌺

Let’s keep buzzing — Bee happy and get those reports in!

We’re proud to be some busy Worker Bees for District 19! 🐝💙💛❤️
