I PLAN TO POSSIBLY CHEERFULLY TALK TO VETERANS IN THE HOSPITAL AND TO TRANSPORT THEM TO THEIR
APPOINTMENTS AT THE HOSPITAL.

This writer started to research where she could volunteer for this assignment. Its been an on-going involvement with another co-worker who has mentioned her volunteer work with the local VFW . She has served the members when they would have BBQs, bingo and other events. This writer remembered these conversations and thought she may be a person to lead me to where I needed to be on this assignment. And she was. She contacted her person of resource who gave me instruction on how to sign up to volunteer with the VA in the town where this writer works. I went to the VA website and found out some interesting information that I was not aware of. Being a veteran myself and having multiple family members that are veterans, this writer feels that this would be a good fit for me to volunteer at the VA.
