The Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter teamed up with Shelton’s Howe Ave. Dunkin Donuts to serve coffee and munchkins to veterans at the River Walk Veterans Day Celebration.
American Legion Sutter-Terlizzi Post #16 conducted its annual Veterans Day Program at Shelton’s River Walk on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
Judy Savary, DAR Veterans Committee Chairperson, wanted to provide coffee at the Veterans Day Celebration. When she asked Mark Dymerski, franchise owner of the Howe Ave. Dunkin Donuts, he readily donated both coffee and munchkins.
Members of the Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution manned the table at the Farmers Market area. The DAR also wishes to thank Guy Beardsley for opening the Farm Market building for our chapter’s use. Everyone enjoyed the coffee and munchkins.
Mr. Sabetta, American Legion President, hosted a luncheon at the American Legion Post, 295 Bridgeport Ave. after
the Veterans Day Ceremony which was well attended. It is important to remember our service men and women and their devotion to our nation.
Veterans Day is one way to always remember.
