Combined Veterans Luncheon & Expo, will be in its FOURTH year. This year we have a potential list of 100 exhibitors, all organizations and companies that help veterans and the community. We are also adding a job fair to assist employment-seeking veterans. To receive a FREE meal, served by Mission BBQ, veterans must present proof of Service such as a VA ID card, current VSO Membership card, a DD 214 with appropriate State ID, or any identification that proves he or she is a veteran.
Non-veterans pay $15 for their meal. Every meal bought pays for a veteran’s meal as well.
If you can assist us with a financial donation we can feed more veterans. A donation of $50.00 will help us feed 8-10 veterans. A donation of $100.00 will help feed 16-20 veterans, etc.
As a way to thank our sponsors, a large sponsor banner will be displayed at the event. You can display your or your company’s information for all the attendees to see those who helped make the event successful.
If you would like to make a donation, send it to:

At our March 15 meeting, we will be taking nominations for the CVO Board, with the election to take place at the April 19 meeting, our official Annual Meeting. Those to be nominated need to be members in good standing (i. e., paid up dues) and either be present to accept the nomination, or email me that you will accept a nomination. You can nominate yourself. We expect to get an update on the status of the VACCC from their Supt., Elizabeth Soto.
