Thank you TWU Local 514 for passing the motion sponsoring the Vietnam Veterans Luncheon at the Veteran Hospital in Claremore, OK on OCT 9.
On Oct 23 there is a Veterans Stand-down located at the American Legion Post 36 in Sapulpa, OK
The purpose of the Stand-down is to prepare homeless veterans for winter; they receive haircuts, clothing backpack and sleeping bags along with medications and personal items needed. Donations are being accepted for this event from NOW until Oct 15. Specific items in need are NEW underwear and socks, gently used clothing like jeans and shirts. Other items are boots, blankets, coats, sleeping bags or any other cold weather items you can give. You can drop these items off at the Grievance Office above Landing Gear Shop or at the Local Union Hall.
Hospital Veterans will be handing out candy for Halloween at the Claremore Veterans Center Oct. 29th at 6 pm. Bring your kids for Trick or Treat. All volunteers are welcome and needed.
Lastly, Nov. 11th is the Veterans Day Parade and we would like a good turnout of TWU volunteers to participate in the parade. Watch for more information on Veterans Committee and there functions in future Informers.
