THANKS REGION 4 UAW VETERANS
On behalf of the residents, administration and staff of the Iowa
Veterans Home, I want to thank
the Region 4 UAW for sponsoring the first Vets Day at IVH on June
26, 2010.
Over 200 residents were able to participate, thanks to the assistance
of the volunteers who were here that day.
The residents really enjoyed the delicious food, great interactions
with the volunteers and the wonderful band that performed.
Everyone was very impressed by the event and our residents had a
great time!
We were visited by Governor Chet Culver that afternoon as he was
here to formally introduce our new
Commandant, David Worley, who will begin his appointment on August
1st. Both the Governor
and the Commandant had a chance to see firsthand everything the
Region 4 UAW did for the
Iowa Veterans Home residents that day and commented on what a positive
experience it was.
We hope this will become an annual tradition at IVH and we look forward
to
working with the Region 4 UAW leadership to plan future events.
Sincerely,
Diane Lemker
Director of Volunteer Services
