Fort
GreeneVille Chapter DAR
Operation
Bundle of Joy
Public
Baby Shower, a Maternity Support Program by the Dayton Veterans Affairs
Medical
Center (DVAMC)
On
Saturday, October 13th, the VFW Post 7262 Ladies Auxiliary and Fort
GreeneVille
Chapter DAR are hosting a public baby shower, Operation Bundle of Joy.
The
public is asked to donate needed baby and mother items for
this program.
The shower is from 2:00pm - 4:00pm at the Greenville VFW Post 7262, 219
North
Ohio St., Greenville. Refreshments will be provided to everyone that
donates.
Also everyone that donates the day of the shower will be
eligible for a
door prize drawing (need not be present to win).
Donations
can also be dropped off at the Greenville VFW Post 7262 now until Oct.
13th or
by calling 548-2398.
The
Operation Bundle of Joy program is being developed to assist
in providing
continuity of care for our maternity Veterans and to show women
Veterans our
commitment to their health care needs throughout their lifespan.
Maternity Veterans
are referred for obstetrical care in the community. Once referred DVAMC
often
does not hear from the Veterans until after the delivery of their
child. The
program will help us to close the gap and help women Veterans
transition from
VA to the private sector and from the private sector back to the VA.
