VVA Chapter 528 and VFW Post 6695 join forces every year to offer the community special Fish Fries. Our chapter helps preparing the event, cutting up the fish, frying the fish and french frys, serving, KP duty, and general clean-up. The community really enjoys coming to our fish frys. Co-Chairing the Fish Fries this year are Ted Enright and Eugene Spurgess.
