VETERAN'S Poppy Sales
There will be Poppy Sales at two locations again. We will be at:
- Sam's Club on 28th Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan once again this year.
We will be there May 6th, 7th, 14th, and 15th
- We will also be at Forest Hills Foods on Cascade road near I-96
We will be there May 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, and 15th
- Hours at both locations will be daily from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00 p.m. each day
As you probably know, the funds collected all are used to support our local programs in the Lowell, Michigan area.
We DESPERATELY need your assistance to make this annual project work. We have a great need for new members to help with our programs, community service and assisting veterans and other worthwhile activities in our community.
Please contact the commander, Herm Weststrate Jr. to volunteer or better yet, contact us and join the chapter.
VETERANS ~ WE NEED YOU
For great chances to join your fellow comrades we need more war time veterans to call or stop in as soon as possible. If you have any questions about becoming a member, call us right away or e-mail me and I will call you back. We are looking for all era's of veterans, both men and women. We have members from WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and other era's but due to the economy, new members are telling us they can't afford to join. If you want to become a member, we will find a way to pay for your membership. Please don't let the cost influence your decisions. Please make sure you leave your name, address, area code and phone number when you call or email us. Lately We have received calls and people forget to leave information so we can return your calls.

$5.00 State of MI license plate: Please go to this web site for detailed information about the $5 license plates. If you maneuver around, you will even find the application to fill out to take to the MI secretary of states office. Don't forget, before you visit the secretary of states office, to obtain a letter from the VA showing you have the 100% disability. The odds are the people at the license bureau won't know how to handle this, will have to pull manuals to figure it out.
But, $5 plate for 5 years is great. You will save a heap of money from whatever your normal price is for a plate!!
