Let's Show Our Support for Veterans

During Their Stays at the Medical Center in Lake City!!

Lake City VA trip (update) On July 20th, our Board members will bring donations, that were so generously donated by our Council members & friends of the Navy League, to the VA Clinic in Lake City. This bi-annual event is one of our well supported & favorite trips. We would love to have more Council members join us on this unforgettable, heart warming trip on July 20th. Please contact: Cheryl Aston, Greg Glaz or Jeannie Straight if interested in joining us!

We meet up & carpool from the Wendy’s at Exit 1 at 8:15am with an estimated arrival time of 10:00am. Once the donations are unloaded, we visit with the Veteran’s. This is something we have not been able to do for 2yrs due to COVID-19. Our Council sponsors the BINGO game by providing $250-300 dollars (depending on donations received) in “canteen bucks” as prizes to the Veterans. Canteen bucks are used by the Veteran’s to purchase items at the onsite BX. BINGO is always a good time & they look forward to our visit!


Please look over the wish list (below) of items that is provided to us by the VA Clinic. We truly need & appreciate any an all donations & financial support for this trip. Please bring your donations to the following locations: St. Mary’s Sub Museum, or in Osprey Cove-Jeannie Straight’s house 1002 Brown Thrasher Pt. St. Marys, GA 31558. If you need your donation picked up, please contact Cheryl Aston-912-552-4167, Jeannie Straight-912-882-4142, or Greg Glaz-229-886-0859 and we will make arrangements for pick up.

 

Unable to shop for donations? No worries, check donations can be mailed to Jeannie Straight at (include her address) Cheryl & Jeannie will do the shopping for you!

Due date for ALL donations & checks will be no later than July 9th to give us time to shop for items not donated.

 

Checks can be made out to the “Camden-Kings Bay Council” in the memo “VA trip” and sent to Jeannie Straight (address above).


**We have already fulfilled a “special request” from the VA Admin for a Veteran who was in need of a laptop. This could not have happened without the generous financial support our friends & Council members provide!

 

Thank you in advance for your support!
