If you haven’t driven by the monument site recently, you might want to. It’s beginning to look a little different. This is what happens when you turn a “Big Kid” loose with a “Big Toy”. A big THANK YOU to Dick, Tim and their crew from Ward Construction for doing the site preparation for the monument. And another thanks to Tim Reddick for the amazing pictures he has been taking for us. They say it takes a village, but in this case, it has been a city with a “HEART” and we are eternally grateful.
The AVOL will be holding a flag retirement ceremony at the monument site, 950 North Boyd Lake Avenue at the entrance to the Loveland Sports Park at 1:00 pm Sunday June 14th. Bring your old flag for retirement if you would like.
ALERT!!
Our next event will be our 2nd Annual “Lobsterfest” on June 27th. We only have 14 tickets left. These won’t last long, so if you want to join in on a fun afternoon purchase your tickets very soon.
Next up is the 4th Annual “Bowl for Vets” on June 28th. Karen Trupp and her team have already sold out this event. Come hang out, participate in the raffle and join in with a whole lot of people having a great time supporting our veterans.
Our 4th annual Golf Tournament at Mariana Butte will be held on August 10th. We filled the course last year so register early! Registration can be done on the website: https://veteranshonormonument.org
Fundraising continues and will be a part of our organization going forward as we continue to support our veterans.
Nominations for the Honor Wall have been strong. If you are debating about putting your name on the wall, think about your grandchildren when they find Grandma or Grandpa’s name engraved on that red granite panel for all to see. This is a way to honor and show respect to those veterans with strong ties to Loveland. Go to our website, select nominations, download the form, fill it out and mail it in. When it is approved you will be notified and then payment will be accepted.
Thank you, Loveland! With your support, your monument is rapidly becoming a reality.
Any questions, let us know. Thanks.
