Our merchandise shop has closed for the season, but don’t worry, it will reopen September 1 for one month with new items available for purchase.
Stay tuned for our annual raffle featuring a vintage Vermont Belle Perry quilt, a Sweetser handmade basket, an American original oil painting, and select items from the IGY6 store. The drawing will be held on Ginny’s birthday, June 29th!

OUR MISSION
Empowering Veterans, Building Futures
The Virginia L. Sweetser Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor the memory of our beloved Ginny. We aim to support female veterans pursuing advanced degrees in social work, psychology, or psychiatry. By empowering these women with the tools they need to assist others, we aim to create a lasting legacy of healing, compassion, and support for those affected by mental health challenges, particularly veterans and their families.
