VETERANS (Dick Wilson, CHAIR) September, 2022 435-773-6974
The Ivins Veterans Home will stay closed to volunteers due to residents’ and staff Covid cases until there are zero cases. The volunteers miss going there as it’s been a long break. We are ready to help with bingo, delivery of mail, playing cornhole, celebrating birthdays with a monthly cake, and arts and crafts. We will also be invited to help with special events.
I met and spoke with the Chair of the Shivwits Band of Paiutes and asked if we could work with their veterans person. She offered to speak to the board members and get the okay for us to speak before the Tribal Council to explain what we do for Veterans. I will give you updates as this moves forward.
We have been asked to do another event for the Southern Utah Gold Star Families on October 8 from 1 to 4 p.m.. We are looking for something fun, and I believe that the Fiesta Fun Family Fun Center will work. It has bumper cars, bowling, laser tag, and miniature golf. This should be fun for everyone, and we hope to have a great time.
September 16 is POW/MIA Recognition Day. We will place a wreath at the POW/MIA table in the dining room. September 25 we will honor Gold Star Mother’s Day with a wreath placed outside at our Veterans Memorial. Please stop by for a moment to honor these special days.
A new Veterans Corner Bulletin Board is on the wall by the men’s restroom. We will post news of interest to Veterans and events. This board is for the use of the Veterans Committee only.
Our next meeting will be held on September 15 at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome.
Remember to reach out to our veterans with care and honor.
