We distributed buddy Poppies at Wellington Giant on Saturday and at Liberia Avenue Wal-Mart on Sunday. We received very generous donations and were able to deposit over $1100.00 into our Relief Fund. This also included donations from our poppy display at Virginia Barbeque provided through the generosity of VFW life member and owner John Singeltary. In addition to donations, we recruited four new members. |
