Welcome, here's the latest on chapter activities:
June 13, 2023 a $1000.00 scholarship was awarded the grandaughter of Joe Easterling, chapter secretary.
We awarded a $1000.00 grant
to the "guitars for Vets" program at the VSC
which has turned in a very successful project.
We purchased (50) $50.00 gift cards for needy veterans during the holiday season.
These we given to families who
were screened by the VSC at their annual
childrens christmas party.
May 25th We set up for our annual memorial day flag give away at Ace Hardware in Coventry and Ellet. As usual a good time was had by all and the public was very generous.
June 1, we held our annual picnic
at the Shriner's very nice shelter house
just off arlington rd. everyone brought a side dish and whatever they wished to drink, The chapter normally provides the main fixings to show appreciation for all the continuing support and participation of the members. This year, my daughter Denise and her husband Jarod, who does the grilling these past three years, decided to provide the burgers, brats and all the acecssories!
The only stipulation was that we use the amount spent to help Veterans.
That amount has been set aside ans earmarked for the vet's kids at Christmas.
Many thanks to Denise and Jarod for this good deed!
We donated $2000.00 to our sister organization: Crooked River Veterans Foundation (CRVF).
