At the Meetings

Approximately twenty members participated in the annual parade. After about three hours at the staging area the Chapter float  was  jump-started (literally) into the procession.  Once again, the crowd showed great appreciation for our veterans.  Watch the 10 minute video below to experience their enthusiasm.

Donations at Work

The Chapter held its annual Christmas Party at the Genesis Banquet Center on February 11th.  That's right, February! The event was originally schedule for December 15th but was cancelled due to an ice storm. We had a great turnout.  The venue and the food were outstanding.  This year we were entertained by the vocal group, "Once Upon an Occasion."  The two ladies sang songs from the Vietnam era, including the favorite, "We Gotta Get Out of This Place."

Thanks to all who made the event memorable.
