Annual Please Remember Me Fund Raiser Held |
|
The
Manchester B.P.O.E. No. 1893 held their annual “Please Remember
Me” veterans fund raiser dinner dance
on Saturday, November 14. Over 175 people attended. For the last
several years, the primary beneficiary
of the event has been the Michael J. Dinda house, operated by
the Veterans Support Foundation (VSF),
located in Manchester. The Dinda house provides transitional
housing for homeless and needy
veterans. Most recently a handicap ramp was constructed at the
house by the Manchester Elks. Holiday
meals are also donated in addition to other maintenance services
being provided. Additionally, money was raised to support
Governor Rell's “Operation Home for the
Holidays” project. Two members of the 1st Battalion of
the 102nd Infantry Regiment, partially based
in Manchester and just recently deployed, were in
attendance and will hopefully benefit from the
Governor's project. “Our lodge
upholds the motto of the Elks to never forget our veterans and
we do this in appreciation of past and
present service by all branches of the armed forces.” said Kevin
Corcoran, the lodge's Veterans Committee Chairman. |
