Waverly American Legion Auxiliary is sponsoring a Bartels Veterans Social Monday, October 12, 9:30 AM in the Chapel/Community Room. All veterans, spouses/significant others and surviving spouses in the Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community and the Waverly community are invited to attend for fellowship, food and fun.

All are welcome to join us for breakfast on Saturday, February 14, at our new location: the American Legion Hall, 208 8th Ave. SW in Waverly. A different building, but the same time as always: 7:30 AM on the second Saturday of the month. Presently, we plan to use the Legion Hall until the new building is ready for use.

Attendance at the February breakfast was an all-time high. It would be nice if we could break that record this month. Anyway, the invitation is still the same, come for good food, fun and fellowship. And you still get to name the price.

The February breakfast got some interesting coverage in the Waverly Newspapers. Thank you, Anelia!

Due to an adverse weather forecast for Tuesday, November 11, the Veterans Day Service has been moved from the Tribute corner to the Centre at 1211 Fourth Street Southwest (south of Miller Hardware Store). People are encouraged to arrive early so the service can begin promptly at 11:00 a.m.

Operation Gratitude for active military and veterans is also scheduled at the same location from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Many activities and benefits are planned for them and their families.

Barb Bridges (via Carl Benning) sent this in to us regarding an event being held at Eisenach Village on the day before Veteran's Day. Make sure to call for a reservation if you're interested in attending.
