  Veterans Banner Program Application

  Let's Celebrate our Woodstock Veterans

  
  

  

  The Town of Woodstock’s Veterans Banner Program is administered by AMVETS Post 11.

  Completed applications and fees should be submitted to AMVETS and not the Town of Woodstock. Please complete all sections. Incomplete applications may delay review. The banner program operates on a two-year rotation, with banners returned to applicants afterward. The Town of Woodstock will store the banners between display periods, and the Town will also provide the brackets. The program operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to those with a Woodstock connection and without banners in surrounding communities. If we receive too many applications, your application will be saved for the following two-year rotation.

• Calling All Singers! 250th Choir Opportunity

  • When
    20 Jun 2026
  •  
    10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
  • Location
    Woodstock, Va

  

  Choir Details: 

  
  

  The sheet music for both is available as a digital download.  You will need to purchase "Our Song of Freedom".  I have purchased 50 copies of the National Anthem arrangement below and will distribute on a first some first serve basis.   I will also purchase the background tracks for both and send out for everyone to practice with.  I will collect sizes and orders for all of the T shirts and will need to purchase by June 1, so I have set that as a deadline for contacting me about participating.  *Singers not a part of a church can purchase music and their shirt directly from me. 

  
  

  We will rehearse at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Woodstock.  We will hold 3 one-hour rehearsals in June, with at least one the week leading up to the performance (all prob on a Tues, Wed, Thurs).  We will set those dates once I get a response from several churches and see what works for most.  I would like to get everyone to at least 2 of the 3 rehearsals just so we can finesse dynamics, cut offs, and practice with the background tracks.

  
  

  The performance will be in front of the courthouse on Court Street during the opening ceremony and will last approx. 30 minutes.  If there is inclement weather, we will sing up under the porch of the courthouse.

  Business Breakfast Session: Is Your Business About to Become the Next Victim of Fraud?

  We’ve all heard the tragic stories of businesses who have faltered, as a result of fraud. From overextended trust in colleagues and business partners, to questionable vendor billing, to employees unknowingly falling for a scam, a lifetime of work can quickly devolve into bankruptcy. Whether from internal misconduct or external schemes, fraud can quietly undermine both a business’ operation and reputation.

  This workshop equips business owners, CFOs, and HR Directors with practical strategies to recognize fraud risks, strengthen internal controls, and foster a culture of accountability. While all fraud cannot be eliminated, proactive measures can significantly reduce exposure and are far more cost-effective, than dealing with the extensive consequences of fraud, including:

  ·         Financial loss: direct and indirect (tax impact, auditing, legal fees, etc.)

  ·         Reduced/redirected employee productivity

  ·         Negative publicity/impact to business reputation

  ·         Insurance/bonding ramifications

  ·         Psychological stress to owners/operators

  Join us to learn how implementing effective fraud mitigation strategies, can protect your business! As an added bonus, attendees are also eligible for a raffle drawing of three gift certificates, to local eateries!
