Silver Bay V.A. Home Visit, 20 Feb.2010

Imagine our surprise when we arrived at our meeting place on London Road to see the parking lot full of vehicles. We knew just then that this was going to be a great meet. We had an incredible visit again with our Resident Veteran's. 3 Hibbing Members met with 20 Duluth Members over Lunch at a local cafe where we introduced and Welcomed New Members and their guests.

We held a Briefing during lunch and passed 2 Birthday Cards around for all to sign and also shared pictures from last months visit with the new members, We also gave everyone the opportunity to sign their "Well Wish's" on another card for a Future Event and even sold some Raffle Tickets for a chance to win the new 2010 Harley Davidson " Road Glide" Motorcycle at the Patriot Ride.We were met with Great enthusiasm upon our arrival at the V.A. Home by the Residents and helped 2 Residents celebrate their Birthday's by serving Cake and Fudge to all, We went to the room's of infirmed Resident's and heard some heroic stories of their past experiences and forged new bonds with these great individuals.

The Main Lobby area looked to be in complete pandemonium with 2 Birthdays, numerous Residents and a Bunch of PGR members laughing and sharing stories., When "Bingo" was announced the lobby area was deserted and everyone was looking for their "Lucky "Bingo cards. Bingo was a Huge success with Jim and Kathy, his assistant calling the game with" Every" Resident winning some games! This was one of the most Enjoyable Visit's we have experienced with all the Excitement, Laughter and Hugs, These Visit's are what make Memory's. To "Mom" and all present on this visit "THANK YOU" !
