Activities

Below are the community events which our members have participated in throughout the year. Most of the events we are involved in are in keeping the memory of our veterans and their sacrifices they have given. Examples of these are our POW/MIA, Pearl Harbor Remembrance, Veterans Day.

We also participate in local events within the community such as the local Round Rock July 4th parade to celebrate our country's independence and freedoms. We perform fund raisers which include our Annual Golf Tournament which is used to help support our Educational Scholarships and supporting unmet needs of our local veterans.

We conduct Buddy Poppy fund raisers 2-3 times a year to support our relief fund which helps in supporting our local homeless veterans and other emergency needs that arise. All funds from the Buddy Poppies is only used for relief funds and for not other purposes. We thank our community for their support for if not but for their donations we would not be able to do any of the things which we do through out the year for our local veterans.
