Rep. Anthony DeLuca Hosts Free Picnic For Veterans
If you are a veteran, stop by Memorial Park in Glenwood on Friday, July 10 to enjoy food and fun with State Rep. Anthony DeLuca

To honor those who have served in our nation’s armed forces, state Rep. Anthony DeLuca, D-Chicago Heights, is hosting a free Veterans’ Appreciation Picnic on Friday, July 10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, located at 19101 Halsted St. in Glenwood.
“Veterans made sacrifices for our safety and freedom that we must not take for granted,” DeLuca said. “They deserve our thanks every day, not just on special holidays and this picnic is sign of our community’s gratitude for their service.”
Veterans and their family members can come to Veterans Memorial Park at any time during the event. Hot dogs and beverages for all attendees, and games like BINGO will be played. DeLuca will be joined by leaders from local governments, including Bloom Township, Rich Township, Frankfort Township, and the Village of Glenwood Blakey Senior Center.
