January 2021 VCSU Meeting

VCSU Meeting - January 2021

On account of the special City Council meeting being conducted Jan. 19, we are changing the date for the VCSU meeting to Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. I will send the Zoom info out next week.  I may have a representative from the Rotary Club speaking about a potential new Veterans Rotary Club. Not confirmed as of yet.   Agenda: if you have items to add, please let me know sooner rather than later.  Thanks so much!  David

2020 Wreaths Across America

2020 WREATHS ACROSS AMERICAN FLYER 

Hello All -

Attached is our "modified" event flyer for Wreaths Across America Day being held on Saturday, December 19, 2020 starting at 10 am at Tonaquint Cemetery.  Please note that the amazing ceremony we normally provide before wreath laying commences has been CANCELLED.  We will still meet though at 10 am for some brief instructions BEFORE laying remembrance wreaths on the graves of veterans buried at this location. When we are done, the St George Police Department will once again guide us to historic St George Cemetery to finish wreath laying at that location.  In all, we will be placing just over 2000 remembrance wreaths on veteran graves at these two locations.  

If you can give me an idea about how many volunteers will be coming out from your group, that would be great.  As of this date, I am not limited on the number of volunteers who may gather in one place, but we all know that drastic changes are not unheard of during these unprecedented times.  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  

In DAR Friendship,

2020 Nov 17 VCSU Meeting

Did today's meeting sneak up on you too? We will meet by Zoom, per usual, at 2 p.m. today. If you see this before the meeting, let me know if you would like something on the agenda. Please be thinking on events/initiatives from now through to February, as we will not meet in December.
Thanks,
David

Covid Cancellations

Just a quick note to our group to report that just about every Veterans Day event has been cancelled, including:
•    SunRiver event
•    Veterans Day Parade
•    DSU's events (although they will raise the flag Wednesday and Marine veterans on campus can enjoy birthday cake)
It's sad, but I get it. Let's all be safe out there.

Benefits Fair at the Vet Center, originally scheduled for Nov. 17, has been canceled until further notice.

And to all veterans on this thread, please know from the bottom of my heart that I appreciate your service!

Thanks,
David
