Shukin And The Ramblers
The Messengers-Chicago
OMT
This year they are focusing fundraising efforts on exterior improvements. They want to create incredible curb appeal as you drive up to our VFW post and will be raising money to paint the entire exterior in one uniform color. The brick will remain the same and every other surface will be painted one complimentary color. They will also update the paint on all the handrails and staircases. Beautifying the VFW helps with the rentals of Kendall Hall and ultimately that money goes to help all of our Veterans.
