#Still Serving in Carlyle Illinois!

 Although many Post activities around the VFW have been curtailed or stopped entirely, it's heart-warming to know that our Members continue to serve their communities!

At the Carlyle VFW Post 3523, in my home district 14 in Illinois, the members have a special relationship with their community and they are a cornerstone in it.  Due to the inability of the local school to have in-person classes because of COVID-19, the school has been forced to go with virtual learning.  That presented a problem for the many children who do not have access to reliable WiFi.  And that's where the VFW came to the rescue!

The school reached out to the Post and asked if these children could use the very large VFW hall and in-building WiFi to continue their studies.  The answer was immediate:  Absolutely!  To that end, the large hall and the large parking lot have been made available for the school and the children.

There you have it in a nutshell.  The VFW continues to play an active role in the daily lives of veterans, families, and their communities.  Great job Carlyle Post 3523!
