Generous Donation

On Wednesday, October 24, 2018, WRJ VAMC received a generous donation of more than $6,000 on behalf of the Women's Center (Department Past President Ann Berrio's project), from the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Vermont. Ms. Janet Osmer, VAVS Chairman, presented the check to Women's Program Manager, Sarah Bohnson and Dr. Lynn Marshall.
This donation will go towards VA women's programming such as writing workshops, book clubs, classes and general support of Veteran women's needs.
As always, White River Junction VAMC appreciates the continued support from the American Legion Auxiliary.
