On a cool and rainy day, Sunday May 5th, 2024, we helped transport 24 Veteran’s to the Elks lodge. (Less Veterans due to illness on one wing of the Veteran’s home)
The veterans and their 21 family members were treated to a filet mignon dinner with desserts prepared by members Greg and Jim Pinsonneault. Following their meal many veterans’ played bingo for prizes donated by the Elks. Thanks to lodge members Mike Kinney, Gary, Kitty, Ryan and Kristen Lewis, Scott and Dane Dickie, Kelly Kervan and volunteer helpers Ryan Marsden, Killian Kervan, Parker Lewis and VVH staff.
