We recently received an inquiry about the VFW Auxiliary and the VFW's Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen contests and because it is a question that has come up many times before, we would like to share our response.

The question was about what the VFW Auxiliary DOES when it comes to these two contests, as they are both VFW contests.

The answer is that the level of involvement is different from one Post/Auxiliary to another, so there is no "one size fits all," but Auxiliary members have long helped by distributing information to schools, collecting entries from students, arranging the judging or helping to find judges, contacting local media to promote the contest and/or to announce the winners, assisting in holding recognition celebrations for participants, raising money for prizes awarded on a local level and more.

In short, each individual VFW Auxiliary promotes the VFW Voice of Democracy and VFW Patriots Pen contests while supporting their Post in whatever ways the Post finds most helpful - sometimes this means taking a more active approach and sometimes this means taking a quieter background role - but no matter what you do, make sure to report your participation and fundraising under Scholarships.

And spread the word about these scholarships and contests today!
