The Town of Carefree is honored to host its 8th annual Veterans Day presentation and musical tribute. It will be held on Friday, November 11, 2016 from 3 pm to 5 pm, in the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion, located in the Carefree Desert Gardens, 101 Easy Street, Carefree, AZ.
The event will feature a mixture of exciting patriotic and military music by Don Morosic and his Main Event Swing Band. Special speakers will include veterans of the armed forces, who will share their experiences from the past. By popular request, the finale will once again include the bugle call, The Last Post, followed by TAPS on “dueling bugles”.
Barbara Hatch, founder of Veterans Heritage Project, will be in attendance with students from Cactus Shadows High School and Sonoran Trails Middle School, whose VHP chapters are now in the capable hands of two volunteer advisor/teachers: Gus Angeli (Navy veteran / science teacher) and Bret Lineburg (history teacher), with Shannon Griffith. The Heritage Quilt will be on display. Barbara is one of the recent recipients of the Hon Kachina Award for "improving the lives of others in her community." Veterans Heritage Project students can now be found interviewing in 25 schools in Arizona and one in Illinois and will publish 5 editions of Since You Asked this year.
Packages from Home (www.packagesfromhome.org) will also be present at the Veteran’s Day event to accept items for shipment to troops serving overseas, or donations to help with shipping costs. The most-needed items are small size toothpaste, shaving cream, men’s razors, socks, T-shirts (L & XL), boxers (L & XL), Rice Krispy Treats, peanut butter (~16 oz.), gum 20 packs and drink mix singles, such as Crystal Lite powdered drinks. Alternatively, PFH representatives will be on hand to gladly accept any cash donations, since each package costs $16.75 to ship.
The Association of the United States Army will have a representative available to assist any veterans with questions. The Carefree Kiwanis Club (www.kiwaniscarefree.org) will be providing light refreshments with assistance from the Black Mountain Foothills Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Come enjoy the special presentations and join in the opportunity to honor those who have sacrificed for all. For more information visit Carefree.org or contact 480.488.3686.
