At the October 20th meeting we will be planning for our Committee’s participation in the 2018 Auburn Veteran’s Day Parade, which will be held on Saturday, November 10.  This is the largest Veteran’s Day parade west of the Mississippi. 

Additionally, we will be discussing future activities for our committee and officers for the committee.

Please email Kay Michlik at kaym@iam751.org to RSVP for either the Oct. 20th meeting or if you would like to take part in the Nov. 10th parade. Feel free to invite other 751 veterans who might be interested in taking part in this committee. Be sure to include your full name if you send an email.
