VCSU Meeting Set for May 16
Our next Veteran's Coalition meeting is set for 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 16 at the American Legion Post 90 building. If you have something you would like to include on the agenda, please let me know by the end of the week.
I don't believe we have a "speaker" lined up, so if you think your agenda item needs more time than the typical one, let me know and you could be our speaker.
I wanted to remind everyone of the Hangar Dance taking place at the Western Sky Aviation Warbirds Museum at the St. George Regional Airport, Saturday May 20. All World War II and Korean War veterans are free — just be sure to have your veteran call Jack Hunter at 435-669-0655 to reserve your tickets. Otherwise, it is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Click here for flyer.
Please make sure to pass the word along to members of your VSO, and especially the WWII and Korean War veterans.
Also taking place that weekend is the Armed Forces Celebration. I have included the FLYER on that as well. 🦅

American Legion Family Day - April 29th
The National American Legion Vice Commander and our State Commander have just belatedly informed us that April 29 has been designated "American Legion Family Day." There is little time to put together a specific program. However, Post members and their families may participate in an already scheduled event which is a way to gather, be visible, and give back to our community. St. George Parks and Community Services have scheduled "Arbor Day" on April 29th from 9-11 at JC Snow Park, 275 E 900 So. Everyone may join for tree planting, crafts, giveaways, and breakfast refreshments. Wear your service cap and be recognized as a member of the Veteran community helping our city.

Donkey Dreams Sanctuary
There will be an adventure group next Friday April 21! We will be going to the Donkey Dreams Sanctuary in Scenic, AZ from 10-12 MST. We will be touring the facility and spending time with their rescue donkeys. The sanctuary is about 15 min from Mesquite and about a 40-minute drive from Saint George. There are only 5 spots for this group. This group is for veteran’s only and is not open to family members due to having limited spots available.
