Upcoming Events:
It’s finally here! Our long awaited Valentine’s Day celebration is back. This year’s theme is the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929. Be sure to pick up your tickets at the bar for $30 each, limited seating available. Don’t wait, this event will sell out quickly. Dust off those flapper dresses and 1920s attire to enjoy a night of great food, live entertainment, and dancing!
We are excited to host many more events this year, so stay tuned by reading our newsletter or checking our monthly calendars at https://vfw6796.org/page/. Our events are family friendly, and all throughout the community are welcome to stop by and participate.
