CSSC will hold the Annual Veterans Recognition Luncheon on Monday, November 7 at the Beltrone Living Center to recognize the veterans in our community.

In the past the event has drawn over 150 Veterans and their guests from the Capital Region who wish to honor and thank members of the Armed Forces in a special way. For many in attendance it is a way to connect with friends from the past as well as build new friendships with others who have served.

Each year CSSC hosts the event to honor Veterans from all service branches. There will be a performance by the Tri-County Banjo Band at 10am, a Presentation of the Colors and recognition of each Veteran in attendance by the American Legion J. E. Zaloga Post 1520 at 11am. The event will conclude with a lunch for the veterans and their guests.  The lunch is free for veterans, but reservations are required.  Call 459-2857 ext. 303 for more information.
