Post 619 Jewish War Veterans in Sun Lakes will meet in the Mirror Room of Sun Lakes Country Club at 9:30 a.m. June 15. The speakers will be Gail Cantor, Jack Dante, Elliot Reiss, Joel Goldman and Art Sloane. The post has been very busy. Several members attended the dedication of the new Southeast Clinic of the VA in Gilbert. At this time they were able to view and dedicate with a small bottle of champagne the new golf cart the post bought for the clinic. This cart is used to bring patients into the clinic from the large parking lot. It is driven by volunteers. Also, on Memorial Day weekend many members of the post asked for donations in front of the local Fry’s grocery stores. Two members of the post volunteer on a weekly basis to help their fellow veterans but there are openings for more since this is a much larger facility.

This post is open to all interested parties, no matter what religion or race. For information on this very active post call Elliott Reiss at 480-802-3281. Since the meeting starts with a brunch, reservations are needed. Call Myra Buckner for a reservation at 480-305-0533.
