I have been meaning to get this posted on my blog, it's already October 8th but there is still time to enter.
I am a Life Member of the Ladies Auxiliary of VFW Post 4647 here in Sacramento. Each year the VFW holds a scholarship program for high school kids grades 9-12. Please pass this info along as we try to get out to the schools and to as many students as possible.
2010-2011 Theme – “Does My Generation Have a Role in America’s Future?”
Entry Deadline – Nov. 1, 2010
For more information and contest rules visit the VFW.org website.
Madison Mullen, a senior at Olentangy Liberty High School has been named the first place winner in the 2010 National Voice of Democracy Program and recipient of the $30,000 first place VFW T.C. Selman Memorial Scholarship Award provided by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Madison plans a career in law and she was sponsored by VFW Post 3297 and Ladies Auxiliary in Delaware, Ohio.

If you live in the greater Sacramento area and know a student who would like to enter the contest, contact me and I will put you in touch with the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4647 Voice of Democracy Chairman. I am the editor and social media contact for VFW Post 4647.
I want to add that this is a National contest. You don't have to be in Sacramento to participate. You do need to contact your local Veterans of Foreign Wars in your area and ask for the Voice of Democracy Chairman. You can visit here to search by state.
