I have some great news! PLEASE READ!
Mile Hi Veterans Services is officially a 501(c)(3) supporting organization. It supports Mile Hi Veterans.
Because of this status, we can approach organizations for monies for our Veterans and Community. Please! Please! ask if the money is earmarked for a specific cause, fundraiser etc., otherwise it goes into the general membership account. If your donor requests a W-9 form, please email me jazzy3163@gmail.com, and I will send you a signed copy.
I am working with Amazon to set Mile Hi Veterans Services (MHVS) as an AmazonSmile recipient. When this happens, we can designate (MHVS) as an organization to receive a percentage from the daily, like me, qualifying purchases we make through Amazon. I will keep you informed as this progresses and how to sign up.
A very special thank you to our new members, Lisa Salazar, Audrey Garcia and JoAnn Knob who had a mini-fundraiser and donated $2100 to Mile Hi Veterans. Muchísimas Gracias!

We will pick up the wreaths on December 17, 2022 with the help of our Veterans, Dale Nuanez and Tom Romero. We need one more Veteran to volunteer. The Club will open 10am-1pm serving hot chocolate and biscochitos for you while you pick up your wreath!
Again, thank you for supporting this important fundraising event!
Thank you,
