Hi all, 10-20
Last year I went to the "Missing In America Program" at the Marana Veterans Cemetery, 15950 N Luckett Rd, Marana, AZ . The MIAP organization seeks and inters unclaimed Veterans who have no family or friends. Some Veterans had been deceased 50 years or more. The ceremony is very emotional and moving. Please attend the ceremony at the Marana Veterans Cemetery beginning at 10AM this Saturday, October 24, you will not be disappointed. The cemetery is about 35 minutes from Sun City.
November Club Meeting - Guest Speaker Kady Walker, Suicide Prevention Coordinator, Southern AZ VA, will discuss how to recognize symptoms of suicide at our 1PM Monday, Nov 2nd meeting in the Activities Center. This is the meeting NOT to miss. Masks will be required in the Auditorium.
Start taking those gently used men's & women's clothes off the shelves and out of the closet and bag them now for collection. Collection of items begins Oct 28 - Nov 7(Veterans Day) personal hygiene products & clothing, gloves, hats, belts. Deliver to my house 2145 E Bighorn Dr starting Oct 26.
Does anyone have the capability to view CBS LIVE TV from their computer through CBS All-Access or other media outlet? Contact me. We will connect your computer to the SCOV audio/visuals at the Activity Center. Instead of our usual meeting on Monday, December 7, we will meet for the annual Army/Navy football game on Saturday, December 12 at 1PM in the Activities Center. Masks will be required in SCOV buildings. Limited to 50 people. Veteran Club members and spouses have priority, then open to SCOV residents if we do not reach capacity. I will begin taking names now. First come, first served.
Our club will be serving pulled pork and smoked chicken to homeless Tucson Veterans on Nov 11, Veterans Day. I have 4 volunteers to help with this outreach. Ed Caine, Ian Friedlander, Bill Livingston and myself.
