Post Members Build Community, Raise Money with Stew & Music
Comrades Potts and Tiffany organized and held two fundraisers at the post Mar. 16, 2019. The first fundraiser was an Irish stew feast that included game hunted by Potts in Texas. Chef Kay and her team of volunteers cooked the stew and fixings. Proceeds from the stew feast were to benefit a group of veterans traveling to Washington, D.C. in May.
The second fundraiser, aptly called Shamrocks & Shenanigans, featured three bands. Proceeds from the concerts benefited Post 3063’s Relief Fund, which benefits a variety of causes for local veterans in need. Overall the events were a success not only for raising money, but bringing members of the community together for a couple of good causes.
