mjungledog Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 My friends,On November 21, 2015 I will hold a 50 ss Gaining Grounds Tournament at Table Top Games, 46 North Main Street, Fall River MA 02720 (508) 567-1620 to benefit the Veterans In Need Program of the RI Veterans Association. My Grandson Keith will be making the donation.Here is a link to the Facebook event:https://www.facebook.com/events/446616992203060/Here is the text from the event description:As the holiday season approaches, along with the frigid weather, I can't help but think about the less fortunate and the homeless... Among those in need are our Veterans who've so bravely put there lives on the line for our freedom. I can not fathom what it must be like to be such a respected person, but overlooked at the same time.With that being said, I've done some research and was able to find a "needs list" from our local VA hospital. I will be donating this season, and I invite you all to make a donation with me. Community service is so important and making a difference in someone's life is truly the best gift you can possibly give. I am willing to pick up donations, as well as deliver them. The link of the needs list can be found below!
