Gentlemen, this should be a blast event. See Flyer. The proceeds all go to good Veterans help organizations to help them keep up their work, one of which is our Operation Never Forgotten (www.operationneverforgotten.org). If you like Rock & Roll, this will be fun. I attended one they had last year on a smaller scale. The music was very good and many folks dressed in period clothes. I would like your help in advertising and spreading the word ofÊthis for us, if you would/could. Thank you in advance. John Kinzinger
