Post 619 Jewish War Veterans
Art Sloane
The members of Post 619 Jewish War Veterans in Sun Lakes will be meeting at 9:30 a.m. January 18 in the Mirror Room of the Sun Lakes Country Club. The speaker will be Jeff Weninger, former City councilman of Chandler, who has just been elected to represent Chandler and Sun Lakes in the Arizona Legislature. Inquiries on joining the post which is dedicated to helping all veterans are answered all year long from any person regardless of race, religion or gender. In December the post treated the veterans of the Madison Street Veterans Association to a pizza party at their residence at MANA House in Phoenix. A large donation was made to the Arizona State Veterans Home in Phoenix to be used for many items on their wish list. The post made contributions to the Arizona StandDown for homeless veterans in December and signed up members to help at the StandDown the second week in February at the Arizona State Fair Grounds. Our officer in charge of putting on events for veterans has been very busy with affairs scheduled through March. For more information on the post contact Elliot Reiss at 480-802-3281. To make reservations that precedes the meeting contact Myra Buckner at 480-305-0533.
