2019-2020 SAFETY PROGRAM
VFW Posts throughout the state have involved themselves in a variety of Safety Programs, which cover virtually every possible activity. The VFW is actively conducting and participating in six major categories under which any drug or safety activity will fall. Virtually any drug or safety activity conducted by a Post can be reported within the six categories. Credit is given only once for each activity.
The Program Reporting period is May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020
Samples of the activities are listed below:
