Community Service: VFW Memorial Day Community Service |
 The New York Capital Chapter of the AGA is looking for volunteers to reach out to their local VFWs and assist in replacing flags on our fallen Veterans' graves in honor of Memorial Day. Each year the VFW Posts (Veterans of Foreign Wars) replace the flags in local cemeteries in honor of those who have passed that have served our Country.
We would like to assist in this worthwhile cause to as many VFW Posts as we can. Each Post will most likely have different dates/times per cemetery that their members do this for. Please contact Nicole Van Hoesen at nvanhoes@nysif.com or 914-466-0850 if you are interested in helping your local VFW with this annual cause. |

Operation DVD |
| The New York Capital Chapter of the AGA is proud to participate in OPERATION DVD.
Since outdoor entertainment is extremely difficult to provide for our soldiers overseas, many are passing time watching movies. We will be conducting a DVD drive for the next few months to support our soldiers. New and used DVDs are accepted and there will be a drop box at all of our upcoming events.
Please keep our nation's heroes in mind when you are considering whether or not to donate. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nicole Van Hoesen at nvanhoes@nysif.com.
