This is a good way for members to see how the NEA4WDC works and to help our our warriors. If you are planning on dropping of stuff, staying for the meeting and are not a delgate let me know. We have Pizza ordered for lunch and want to make sure we have enough on hand for everybody.
As many of you know or not know I am retiring from volunteer accounting. This might be my last good deed with you all. My wife will see that the items get to the Manchester VA hospital.
Thanks for the help.
