VETERANS HOME NEWS

EMPLOYOYEES RECOGNIZED FOR20 YEARS OF SERVICE

LEGION SPONSORS ANNUAL CHRISTMAS GIFT SHOP

Debbie Pingel Dennis Kern

The annual Christmas Gift Shop is something our Veterans look forward to every year. This event, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Missouri, and supported by area Legion Posts, gives our Veterans an opportunity to shop (at no cost to them) for a gift for a loved one at Christmas. This is particularly important for those Veterans who are no longer able to go shopping. Barb Yallaly spearheads this effort every year, with much assistance from local Legion Auxiliary members.

Once every year all employees who have reached a milestone in their employment are recognized for their years of service. Pictured above are two employees who have been serving our Veterans for over 20 years. See Page 7 for others who were recognized. This event is sponsored by our Veterans Home Foundation.

American Legion Auxiliary Members from Cape and Jackson gather for instructions prior to opening the gift shop. On the far right is Dennis Woeltje, State Commander, who stopped by to lend a hand.

After a long, cold winter, Veterans enjoy sitting outside on a warm day watching a local group of girls scouts clean the courtyard and plant flowers in preparation for spring.

VETERANS HOME NEWSWINTER 20142

John Yallaly, also known as Doc to his friends, is a familiar face around our Missouri Veterans Home. He also has a long history of volunteering in the community as well as with the local American Legion. During 2014 his years of service were recognized during the American Legion Department of Missouri Annual Convention, when he was named Distinguished Legionnaire of the Year.

John, an Army veteran, served in the Korean Conflict. In 1968, he became an active member of Louis K. Juden

Post 63, Cape Girardeau, serving as Post Commander from 1983 to 1985. John was manager of the Post baseball team from 1956 to 1996, teaching, coaching and motivating hundreds of youth, leading a team to a state championship in 1973 and another in 1994. Today, Yallaly continues to serve as the Post 63 baseball chair and team general manager.

Yallaly’s devotion to the Veterans living here at the Veterans Home is evidenced by the many programs he participates in to make the lives of these Veterans more enjoyable and purposeful. He has accumulated over 2600 volunteer hours at the home, with many untold volunteer hours not recorded. Congratulations on receiving a well-deserved aware!

VOLUNTEER HOME REPRESENTATIVES

John Yallaly Named Distinguished Legionnaire of the Year

Barb Yallaly honored for 25 Years as Legion Auxiliary Veterans Home Representative

As the official ALA Home Representative, Barbara Yallaly has spearheaded volunteer efforts of the American Legion Auxiliary at the Veterans Home since it first opened in 1990. She was recently recognized by the Department for her years of continued service to the home.

Under her leadership, area Auxiliaries sponsor several activities including monthly bingo, monthly birthday party, Jack Pot, and a Super Bowl Party. They also

sponsor Cheer Baskets, providing Veterans a choice of personal items and hygiene products. Over the years they have purchased numerous items for the home to include the first bingo machine, feeding tables, Wii games, yard glider, 4th of July fireworks, televisions and two pianos. Add to that the Christmas Gift Shop, which is highlighted elsewhere in this newsletter. The list of accomplishments and support is limited only by space. Congratulations on a job well done -- both you and John are a blessing to our Veterans!

Activities & Celebrations

The Activity Department at our Veterans Home does a great job of providing a variety of activities for our Veterans to choose from. These snapshots show just a few of the special events which have taken place over the past few months. (1) The singing group, Re-Creation, provided a broadway-style musical entertainment with songs from the past, ending in a patriotic tribute. (2) Veteran Bill Billmeyer, with the assistance of a volunteer, planted flowers and made a beautiful fall display in front of the home. Bill also oversees the planting of spring flowers and roses which help beautify our landscape. (3) Veterans Del Wright and Jim Sadler chat with Caleb Craft, who stopped by to give his annual “birthday” donation. This is Caleb’s 6th year to request donations for the home rather than ask for birthday gifts.

To the Veterans Home Staff on A Wing,Thanks to all that worked with my husband, Bill Reid. I met some very nice and efficient men and women on A wing. As I visited Bill almost daily, I always watched them as they went from one patient to an-other to assist each one do what-ever he needed done if it was only a pat on the back, a cheery chat, or a hug. I was blessed each day that I visited.Thanks to everybody who helped with the Holiday Dinner on De-cember 5th. The food was really good and I know a lot of work was done in preparing for this event. My family really enjoyed it. I ap-preciate all that was done for Bill. He was the light of my life for 64 years. A thankful spouse,

Frieda Reid
