Pasta Dinner Fundraiser for Beaver Island Veterans Project

Post by BI Veterans Project »

A reminder that the Beaver Island Veterans Project is holding a Pasta Dinner Fundraiser at Peaine Township Hall on Beaver Island, November 28th from 5-7 PM. Freewill donations for the dinner will be accepted at the door. We welcome all local vets to attend, and invite them to 'show their colors' by wearing their AMVETS shirt, red Marine tees, or other clothing to show their unit affiliation. If you'd like to contribute a dish to pass or volunteer to help serve at the dinner, contact Jean Kinsley at 231-448-2856 or Dickie McEvoy at 231-448-2799.

Proceeds from our Pasta Dinner Fundraiser will support BIVP's first Veterans Retreat June 11-12 2016, when we'll host disabled Vietnam veteran Wesley Spyke and his wife Lillian for a couple days of Beaver Island rest and relaxation. At a Sunday brunch in Peaine Township Hall that weekend, the community will have a chance to meet the Spykes and hear about the important work they do supporting veteran needs in the Muskegon area.

The Beaver Island Veterans Project was founded in October 2015 to serve local veterans needs in connection with the larger veteran community. BIVP is affiliated with Friends of Beaver Island Veterans, an auxiliary of local AMVETS Post #46.

Please join us on November 28th for delicious home-made food in the company of our local vets, and thanks for all your support!

I suggest this dinner should be called "Project Pasta"!

I know all the volunteers have been working hard to make this worthy project a success...

Last night's Pasta Dinner Fundraiser at Peaine Township Hall was a big success! We had a great turnout, with over 75 people joining us to raise over $750.00 in support of BIVP programs. There were a lot of compliments on the food, including island-game-flavored venison tomato sauce, Alfredo turkey sauce, Jim Campbell's rolls, and for our vegetarian diners, meatless tomato and chili sauce. People had a chance to socialize with our local vets and enjoy the community gathering. And for those who couldn't attend in person, we made special deliveries--including to our island Elder, 101-year-old Lawrence McDonough! Many thanks to all who volunteered, from the cooks and servers to the set-up and clean-up crews and beyond. Your support helps BIVP support our vets!
