China Grove Farmers Day is tomorrow. Thank you to all who have volunteers to be there! Please please please if you are available to come hang out at the booth and chat with people that would be so great! The more people we have at the booth the better we look!
There will be a basket of information and a binder will all the Auxiliary flyers and information.
We will have new member packets, Info cards, candy and other little goodies. The Challenge Coins are designed to be given to non veterans to encourage them to thank a veteran out in the community. We do only have 100 of these. Let’s try to spread these out throughout the day. We have lots of the information cards so please pass those out freely. Thank the veterans you see, ask people if they are members of a VFW and encourage people to come visit or join. There will be buddy poppies to pass out as well.
