Patriotic
Art Contest Winner
The first place
winner of the Young American Creative Patriotic Art Contest, Alessandra
Levato, sponsored by Ladies Auxiliary to Veterans
of Foreign Wars Post 1463, Lititz, PA, stands at the podium at
the National Convention in St. Louis on July 22, 2014. “Ali” addressed
the crowd of more than 1,000 auxiliary members and guests. She
read the short essay that accompanied her winning entry and expressed
thanks to everyone at Post 1463 who helped her achieve the prize
of a $10,000 scholarship and gifts from the national auxiliary
and
National Madam President “Sissy” Borel.
Ali and her dad Larry enjoyed two whirlwind days in St. Louis as
part of her first place prize, giving them a chance to do some
sightseeing. After accepting her award, the Levatos visited the
exhibition hall to
view Ali’s artwork on display along with winners #2 through #8.
VFW and Ladies Auxiliary national and state officers met with Ali and
extended their congratulations on this significant achievement.
We could not possibly be happier for Alessandra and we admire her work
with this contest for the past three years. It has been our pleasure
to sponsor her and work with the Levato family.
