Amvets Memorial Day Fundraiser
Memorial Day was more than a veterans remembrance at Inglis William Crow Am-
Vets Post #447 on Monday, May 29, because it was planned to help local veterans in need.
It started with a Ride-In to the post by Inglis Scooter Haven Riders who brought with them
a donation of food so large it covered two picnic tables!
The post then served a delicious meal of pulled pork barbecue with all the trim-
mings! AmVets kept up the lively entertainment by "jailing" Post #447 members and requir-
ing a "Cash Bond" to spring them from "jail," and of course, the money went to help needy
veterans, as well! (see front page photos)
Canteen Manager Mary McKay, who worked closely with Scooter Haven to or-
ganize the event, had to be bonded out of "Jail." Members of Scooter Haven, once again,
banded together to help out, collecting a $30 donation to spring the good-natured Mary
out of "jail," and so it went. At 2:00 pm, the fun event became even more energetic with
the help of the live music by Steve Champagne! Next week, the money and food will
be distributed to needy veterans in Inglis as well as homeless veterans in Crystal River.
