Our Youth Officers work with St. Mary / St. Michael School in Derby to have students participate in Poster, Coloring and Essay contests. Many students have earned recognition at the C.W.V. National Headquarters for their work. Our Post has begun the work to nurture a Fife & Drum Band at St. Mary / St. Michael School. If you are interested to help support this effort to obtain fifes and drums, please contact the Post. Thank You.
