Our annual Barbecue Social will be held on Tuesday, October 19th, at the American Legion Hall, at the intersection of Causeway Blvd. and River Road. Serving will begin at 7:00 p.m. You are invited to bring your family and friends. The Reservation Form is on page 4 of the newsletter or in the calendar tab of this website. Cost for the event for adults is only $15. Children under 12 is only $7.50. WAVA is picking up the remainder of the actual cost of the social. Quite a bargain!
We have been briefed by Mrs. Cherie Smith on family support activities for the rotation period. WAVA has made a donation to the Family Support Group (FSG) to facilitate short term activities, but they will require additional funds for future activities and a welcome home party. The WAVA Board has agreed to donate to WAVA a minimum of $25 each which will go toward their group. We ask that each member get behind this effort by sending in his or her voluntary donation of $25, or more, or whatever amount you may be able to afford. Please note on your check that it is for the FSG. The soldiers and their families need our help. That is why we exist. Thank you! If you have a suggestion on organizations or corporations which should be contacted for a donation please contact Norvin Schexnaildre at 504-889-0837.
