VFW Post 3137 Auxiliary on the Isle of Palms actively supports a variety of veteran organizations. The Fisher House, located at 150 Wentworth St. in downtown Charleston, provides a "home away from home" for families of veterans receiving care at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center. Fisher House offers free lodging, with eligibility determined by the Fisher House team, based on national guidelines. The facility offers a comfortable environment with amenities like a kitchen, laundry and free parking. On a recent Sunday evening, the VFW Auxiliary of Isle of Palms provided a meal for the guests residing in the House. Members of the Auxiliary prepared and served the meal, according to guidelines provided by the Fisher House. Guests enjoyed the hot meal and the group camaraderie. A veteran who had been staying in the House for over a month following a lung transplant was especially grateful for the "home-cooked" meal.

Captains and crews of sailboats, cabin cruisers and motor boats traveled north on the Intracoastal Waterway into Winyah Bay and up the Sampit River to the Harborwalk Marina in Georgetown, South Carolina. An additional luncheon excursion up the Waccamaw River to the Wacca Wache Marina in Murrells Inlet provided the opportunity to view bald eagles and alligators along the undeveloped river. Chartered in 2007, the Wild Dunes Yacht Club has the mission of promoting water-related activities, boating safety and conservation of marine natural resources. The fulfillment of that mission has included day and weekend-long cruises, kayaking, "raft Photo caption: Left to right: Bill Marsh, Sally Few, Patti Porfeli, Pamela Marsh and Linda Forslund.

The club has hosted speakers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Natural Resources, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Maritime Association of SC, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Great Loop Association. There is also the social mission of the boating community. Most days of boating end with "docktails," a group dinner and sitting on the bridge/salon of a member's boat, sharing tales of boating adventures and enjoying the ambiance of a starry night! The fall cruise is planned for Beaufort, South Carolina, with docking at the Safe Harbor Marina. An additional excursion is planned to hike on the undeveloped St. Phillips Island, known for its pristine maritime forest, beaches and marshes.
