On Saturday VFW Post 9851 mobilized to sell Poppys to support veteran relief efforts. We met at the Post in the morning and then fanned out through the city to sell Poppys in front of various stores and street corners. I had a busy corner with two other Post members. I estimated I was able to collect $200 to $300 during the 3 1/2 hours I worked. Some gave $20 bills and some just the loose change they had available. One of the other members on our corner even collected a $100 bill. The post also sold Poppys on Sunday. It was estimated that we were able to collect about $4600.
