A 6:00pm social with a Christmas theme was held for the vets at St Francis House on Monday, December 2, with 48 vets attending (40 men and 8 women).  To start the evening, all of the vets and the team members met in the hall, held hands, and prayed for God's blessing. 

Each vet was presented with a $10 Walmart gift card.  The gift cards were purchased from donations from the Knights, VFW, American Legion, and the Order of the Purple Heart.  It only required a hug and kiss to get a card from Anna Suttor.

Gerry Krawczynski.and Ray Ambrozich made six gift baskets that were given away as door prizes.  Anna Suttor did a superb job of decorating the hall as can be seen in the pictures.  Mike Murphy provided two DVD/CD players that were used to play music in each of the rooms.

The volunteers who provided food and who were in attendance included:  Ray and Gynnie Ambrozich, Rosemary Monarque, Anna Suttor, Mike and Ruth Kerwin, Bill Nosek, Larry and Rebecca Linteau, Phil and Marlene Carl, and Mike Murphy.  The following provided food but were not in attendance: Ed Keearns, Lanny Mabus, Patricia Khuen, Mike Garstecki, Valerie Hartnett, Bill Patterson, Libby Dyar, and Judie Pearson.

The vets were very appreciative.  View pictures in Photos.
