History
The fifth program to be adopted by the Ladies Auxiliary VFW
was the Youth Program. It started with the formation of the Daughters of the
VFW in 1935. It was apparent in 1938 that hundreds of Auxiliaries were
assisting in all kinds of youth activities in addition to the Daughters. From
these beginnings, our current Youth Activities Program came into existence.
For 2007-2008, the Ladies Auxiliary will be supporting the
Snowball Express Foundation, which brings children of fallen heroes to
California for a dream weekend of Disney adventures, fun, games and smiles. www.snowballexpress.org
