FREDERICK — Local VFW Post 9741 monthly meetings are at 7 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month, at the Prairie Greens Clubhouse.
    For more information contact Post 9741 at Commander@VFWPost9741.org, call 303-818-3647, or go online to www.VFWPost9741.org.
    The VFW is currently seeking veterans to participate in the next Northern Colorado Honor Flight, scheduled for May 1 along the northern Front Range and Interstate 25.
    The local VFW post is also currently assembling people to create an Auxiliary. A VFW Auxiliary is a team of people who wish to contribute their efforts to the support of veterans, but who cannot qualify as VFW members. Those interested are invited to come out to the post’s monthly “Hearty Breakfast,” starting at 8 a.m. the third Saturday of each month, at the Prairie Greens Clubhouse, 7781 Mountain View, in Frederick.
    “Come to our breakfast events and talk to us about how you would like to help, or email us or call us,” said Cmdr. Greg Goettsch. “We sure could use your assistance and talents.”
    Monthly breakfasts are $7 and include scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, green chili, pancakes, waffles, coffee and OJ. The public is welcome.
    VFW Post 9741’s regular monthly meetings are at 7 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month, at the Prairie Greens Clubhouse.
    Vets wishing to meet with a veterans service officer, the Weld County VSO is in the southwest part of the county from 8 a.m. to noon the first Tuesday of each month. There is no charge.
    The primary purpose of the VFW is to support the needs of any veteran who may require assistance, from helping with groceries or gasoline for the car to removing unwanted items from the basement or building a wheelchair ramp. All it takes to obtain assistance from VFW Post 9741 is a DD-214 and a phone call or email.
    If you know a veteran who needs help, contact Cmdr. Goettsch by email or call 720-552-6191.
