Letter: Coming together to help
Published 12:02 pm Sunday, August 7, 2016
People in Austin and surrounding areas are the greatest. Thanks to all of you who brought clothes. We have been able to help our veterans in veterans homes in Minnesota who are in need.
So many of you called and gave large amounts of clothing, but there have been to many too list. Know you are appreciated by all of us and the veterans. Three large loads have already been sent and I still have more to go.
Remember! If you have more large, larger, and largest, please call me 507-433-8077 and I will arrange to take your delivery or arrange pick-up.
Special thanks to Bob & Cy from VFW 1216 for their transport to veterans homes. And to Mike & Judy for all their help. I couldn’t have done it without you all.
Ruth Colette,
Chair of Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary No. 27, Austin
