Our commitment to Veterans goes beyond just one event.  One of the Veterans we sponsored recently purchased a local historic property.  Because of the property’s unique history, extensive updates were needed before it could open as an event space and small business.  We were honored to help him reach that goal.  It’s inspiring to see this space being revitalized and turned into a place for the community to gather and make memories.
