UPCOMING EVENTS - 2010
HUNGRY LITTLE TUMMIES-The wife of a military officer who taught school
while stationed overseas, kept a pantry to feed American
soldiers children, who
often came to school hungry. Although struggling to get by, these families can't
get food stamps to help make ends meet, while they are living overseas. Here is
one way that we can all help, even if our own money is tight. Expired Coupon Project
BANANAS AND RAISINS FOR VETERANS (ongoing project) The night before lab work,
Veterans may be required to fast, which can leave them shaky and weak the next day.
A small box of raisins or a banana can help until they can have a meal. When
possible, OAVN likes to provide bananas and raisins at the Ernest Childers Veterans Clinic.
OAVN volunteers will pass these out when they have the funds. Last year volunteers
were able to do this five days during the year.
SOCKS- a much requested item for hospitalized Veterans are socks. We are currently
trying to locate a supplier who can help us by providing a discount.
DOT'S CHRISTMAS STORE
will begin to re-stock, starting in November so that
hospitalized Veterans, who cannot go shopping themselves, have a
Christmas gift
to give loved ones. This is a fun project because no one is asked to go out and
spend money.

OKLAHOMA AMERICAN VETERANS NEWS (OAVN) STRETCHES EVERY DOLLAR YOU DONATE
In the fall of 2009, OAVN made the decision to begin contacting past donors by mail, saving on phone and office expenses and allowing donations to go directly to our worthwhile programs.
OAVN volunteers have a sincere desire to help our Veterans having found Veterans to be one of the most gracious and appreciative groups.
