Idaho Women Veteran Memorial Fundraiser

Upcoming fundraiser on Saturday, June 11^th for the future Idaho Women Veterans Memorial to be built at the Idaho Veterans Garden in Caldwell. Fundraiser will be at the Garden from 5:00-8:00 p.m. and will have live music, food trucks (who are donating part of their proceeds), raffles, silent auctions, and a live auction. Attached is a flyer for the fundraiser, a PDF of the brochure about the Memorial, and a stand-alone picture of the future memorial with the link to the story by Marisa McCarter (Joining Forces member) which inspired the design of the Memorial, and a donation form if you would like to donate something for the auction. NOTE FROM MITZI: I have the honor to serve on the planning committee for the Memorial. If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please let me know – we have committee members in all areas of the Valley who can stop by your home or business to pick something up. I would love to see a sea of Red, White, and Blue patriotic items donated by Veterans to support this Memorial that is not only honoring Carrie French and women veterans, but the camaraderie among all those who served together.   The event has grown beyond our wildest dreams, and we are looking for additional volunteers to help on the day of the event with any of the following:
