DAVA 84

Since 1922 the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary (DAVA) has partnered with the DAV parent organization in their mission of service to disabled veterans and their families. That relationship has continued to flourish and the blended organizations have achieved many victories in their quest to improve the quality of life our veterans rightly deserve.

DAVA Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month @ 4:00 PM

Generations of women--in the air and on sea and ground--served in the U.S. armed forces with honor and pride.

We are excited to announce that the 2025 Stand Down event will be held on March 21st and 22nd at the Daytona Beach Ocean Center (101 N. Atlantic Ave, Daytona Beach, FL 32118) from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM both days.

March 29 is designated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day and is set aside to pay special tribute to the 9 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War era, to the 58,000 names memorialized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and to those who never received the recognition they deserved when they returned to America from war.

On July 1, 2015, the Chapter 84 DAV Auxiliary converted to a Life Membership Program for all adult members. New Life Members can start their life membership with a $20.00 down payment, with an unlimited amount of time to meet the payment goal.

If you were a previous Auxiliary Member prior to 2010 , please complete the transfer request form and mail it back to:

DAV Chapter 84 Auxiliary
605 8th Street, Holly hill, Florida 32117.

If you have any questions regarding Life Membership, please feel free to contact Maria Holloway at:

I am thanking all that participated, as well as those that were with us all in spirit. It was a great honor to represent our Chapter and Unit 84. I wish to express special gratitude to DAV Chapter 84 members for their support.

Maria Holloway, Unit Commander

Several Auxiliary members assisted in a DAV sponsored luncheon for residents at the Emory Bennett Nursing Home for Veterans. DAV Chefs Bernie Navarra and Dallas Proax prepared a delicious meal of fried turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, mixed vegetables, rolls and assorted desserts.

Auxiliary members cheerfully served residents and staff. As a surprise treat, they also distributed goodie bags filled with personal care items to the residents. It was obvious that the luncheon was a huge success as evidenced by the expressions of gratitude from the residents and staff. The Auxiliary appreciates the opportunity to support the DAV and its mission. We look forward to the next event.

Lake Nona Nursing Home

DAV Auxilliary members traveled to Lake Nona and visited with Veterans in the nursing home for Monte Carlo Day. During our visit, cookies,cakes and brownies that were baked and donated by members of the Auxilliary were handed to the Veterans-and enjoyed by all. They enjoyed playing all the card games, Roulette, and Dominoes with the DAV Members-as well as the extra attention they were recieving.
