Hi all
Upcoming Calendar of Events for meetings and volunteer opportunities
Next "Meet & Greet" happy hour at the Views is Sept 6th at 3:30pm.
Check out the Veteran Club display case at the Welcome Center. Please loan any of your medals or badges so I can put them in the case. Put your name and the name of the award on an envelope so I can return it to you. Bring to my house or at the "Meet & Greet".
Send me a photo of yourself, with name, date and where photo was taken, when you were in the service to join the other 93 members.
If you would like to get a shirt embroidered, by branch color, for the Veteran Club, bring it to my house, 2145 E Bighorn Mountain Dr with your first and last name stapled to the collar. Find a shirt at Wal-Mart, Kohls or Ross Stores on the sale rack. I have 3 shirts now and will have them ready for the October meeting.
