Dear Vets and Friends:
The Senior Center is air conditioned! What is better to go with chipped beef and other good chow? Your buddies will begin lining-up for an 0900 hours mess. Come, and start the morning with good friends.

These sites are valuable records of Hopkinton's military history.
Tribute will be paid to comrades who passed-on during last month; those who are on "sick call" will be acknowledged. It will be a generous gesture to pay a visit to one or more of our ailing Vets.
Memories of military events that previously occurred on August 5th will be shared. Other announcements will keep you current with veterans' activities in Hopkinton.
Momentum is building for the van trip to the Worcester war memorials. Members of Sergeant Victor Gallerani's family will be at the Korean War monument. Contact Amy Beck or visit the front desk at the Senior Center to make sure you have a seat in the van. Departure is scheduled for a half-hour, or so, after Friday's Vets Breakfast.
A free breakfast is available to anyone who correctly answers the monthly baseball quiz: Who is the player who reached a base in a record 84 consecutive games? (It is not Joe DiMaggio, but it did happen in the 1940s).
Any veteran with transportation difficulties should call Amy Beck on/before 3 August 2016, 508 497-9730. Please encourage other Vets to attend the breakfast.
Amer. Legion McDonough-Carlberg Post 202 will lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and the blessing of the meal.
See you Friday. Out.
