Central Valley Honor Flights
Bill Goodreau with the Central Valley Honor Flights was our program today. The Honor Flights takes veterans from the Central Valley back to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials, see Arlington, and visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, all at no cost to the veterans. The next flight will be April 15-17th. The return to the Fresno Airport will be on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 17th, and you are welcome to come and greet the veteran’s arrival home. Be there by at the latest 4:00 because there can be up to 3000 people at that event.

The $5 drawing went to Lion Mark who donated it to the Leo Club.
