New Veteran's Appreciation event: Manasota Operation Troop Support will be at the McIntosh Middle School Salute To Veterans on November 10th at 9am to accept letters written to our local deployed troops by the student body. All Veterans from every era are encouraged to attend and enjoy a ceremony that includes the presentation of the Color Guard, bagpipes and tributes to our military.
Reminder: Representative Greg Steube is still collecting food for the troops for the MOTS Christmas care packages at his Lakewood Ranch office. Publix is having a 2 for 1 sale this week and the Cheeze-Its are a troop favorite, throw an extra box in the cart for the Food Drive!
