THE CLAREMORE VETERANS CENTER EXCELS AGAIN

[Bob Russell]

 September 17, 2016 was another exceptional yet typical day at the Claremore Veterans Center.  The recreation/activities department put on a wonderful picnic style day for the residents and their family members.  The day started off with a fishing tournament at the onsite pond.  First prize was $75 with other amounts given for largest and smallest fish.  Fishing equipment and bait was supplied by the activities staff.  The covered dock provided a great setting for the residents.  There was also a cookout with hamburgers and hot dogs cooked by members of the Claremore chapter of the Disabled American Veterans organization.  They had a horseshoe competition in the afternoon.  Live music was provided by regular center entertainers Robert and Susie Case.  The day was also made possible by the assistance of the Rogers State University baseball team, and volunteers from the Red Cross and Church on the Move.  There were also the regular volunteers that spend several days per week assisting at the center.  City and county officials were invited to participate with Claremore mayor Bill Flanagan and Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton attending.  The day provided a great deal of entertainment for the residents that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.  The day started with fishing at 8 a. m. and concluded with the presentation of certificates to the first, second, and third place winners of the horseshoe competition at 2 p. m.

Thank you for this post - we notice some of the same at King (in spite of what the liberals are saying about King, my husband's older brother is doing just fine.) His kids visit every week, and interact with the support staff.  We just sent up a jar of pickled fish - based on Lawrence's recipe. I'll know soon if I did it right.
