VFW, American Legion to Sponsor Golf Tournament

Worth County’s veterans groups will be holding a Golf Tournament and Service Officer Event on Sunday, June 3rd, 2018 at 9 am. This event is sponsored by Worth County Memorial Post 3123 VFW and John Edgar Barnes Post 92 of The American Legion.

Event sponsor levels are as follows – Bronze ($50), Silver ($100), Gold ($150), Platinum ($200), and Diamond ($250). Proceeds will be used to fund local programs.

The VFW does the Voice of Democracy program with Worth County Seniors. For Junior High School, the VFW does the Patriot’s Pen. The VFW recognizes local teachers with Teacher of the Year awards; this can lead to a local teacher receiving statewide recognition. This year, Jonell Cook was named VFW State Teacher of the Year. The Worth County VFW also supports the VFW National Home for Children and does Veterans Service work for local veterans.

The American Legion sends local students to Missouri Boys State, where they learn about civics and how government works. They also decorate graves for Memorial Day and do Veterans Service work.
If you would like to donate, please make all checks payable to Worth County Memorial Post 3123 or John Edgar Barnes Post 92 for your chosen amount. Mail all checks to Robert D. Hull, PO Box 250, Grant City, MO, 64456.
