Peggy Haake, VFW Auxiliary, National President 2019.

From the Ellsworth American, 23 August 2019 by Rebecca Alley:

"ELLSWORTH - Peggy Haake, the national president for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Auxiliary, made a stop in Ellsworth on Aug. 16 at the VFW Post 109. Haake was welcomed with a luncheon and greeted by a group that included members of the Ellsworth VFW Auxiliary and the Ellsworth VFW. Since being elected on July 24 at the 106th National Convention in Orlando, Fla., Haake has begun her primary job: traveling to all 50 states to meet with local VFW auxiliaries. This is the fifth state Haake has visited since she began traveling on Aug. 4. This national tour has already brought Haake from one side of the country to the other, as she is the first national president to hail from Hawaii. In her hometown of Kahului, Haake is a life member of the Wilbert Wah Hu Tom Auxiliary 3850, according to her bio on the National Auxiliary’s website. The VFW Auxiliary was founded in 1914 and is the oldest organization to serve veterans" according to their website."
