As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible progress we've made together as an organization.
Throughout 2024, YOU have been extraordinary in representing TCWV in various ways. Our honor guard is second to none, our June 12th celebration, the envy of other organizations, our adopt a precinct community partnership, a success at many levels, and our many fundraisers and social activities, spot on for advancing our mission, raising funds, increasing our visibility and strengthening relationships with supporters.
Looking ahead to 2025, we will continue to support our current alternative holistic wellness programs, forge ahead with our oral history project and set the standard for fostering a culture of continual learning by providing resources and connections at our March Education Expo. We will also continue to come in first as the “go to” place for women veterans to find purpose, explore interests, try new things, and connect with others.
Thank you, Team TCWV, for your continued dedication and support. I am confident that with your continued commitment, and active engagement in our group’s activities, we will achieve even greater things in the coming year.
I particularly want to thank all the board members and committee chairs. I am extremely grateful for your teamwork and selfless commitment to our organization. Because of you, TCWV is not only performing, but thriving.
