The Grant City VFW announced plans to have another flag disposal ceremony during Memorial Day at their regular meeting Thursday. All people with flags that are no longer fit to fly should turn them in to Commander Bob Hull or any VFW member.
Six members were present at the meeting -- Bob Hull, Jack Cottrell, Joe Marshall, Harold Fletchall, Garland Roach, and Delbert Jackson. Garland led the group in the opening prayer.
There was a vandalism at the VFW building recently. Someone threw a golf ball through the window and shot it with a BB gun. The roof is in need of repair.
The District VFW is selling raffles for a rifle. Tickets are $5 each or $25 for six chances. The value of the rifle is $460. The drawing will be held January 4th in Kansas City. Contact Bob Hull for details.
There are 1963 members in the district and 24 members of the Grant City chapter. This includes 21 life members and 3 who are annual members. The Grant City VFW gets money back for every life member that they have. The membership fee is determined based on age.
The VFW Auxiliary also met Thursday night. They are having a Christmas Soup Supper at the Worth County Senior Center starting at 6 on December 12th. The VFW and VFW Auxiliary will meet afterwards. The Auxiliary is looking for overseas people from Worth County on active duty. Contact Lisa Hargrave for information. The VFW Auxiliary has crafts, goods, and books for sale at the building. Contact Lisa for an appointment.
