County veterans invited to community breakfast June 10
Military veterans from Anderson County are once again invited to come together for a community breakfast to honor veterans.
The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, is locally sponsored this month by Ray Varner Ford.
The breakfast will be held Saturday, June 10, at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St., Clinton.
The chow line opens at 8:30 a.m., and there will be a brief program at 9 a.m. honoring veterans.
All of the veterans’ breakfasts recognize and honor local veterans and their families for their service to the United States.
Anderson County residents and community volunteers are working together to make the breakfast a free monthly event that will allow veterans of all ages and branches to fellowship and share stories.
Veterans are welcome to bring spouses, family, or friends with them.
The city of Clinton is recognized as a special sponsor for hosting the monthly location and set up.
Local media are especially recognized for their role in letting veterans know about the breakfast each month.
Many generous donors are also recognized for providing regular door prizes.
Coming up: the July 8 breakfast is sponsored by Oak Ridge Moose Lodge 1316 and Women of the Moose 1062; Aug. 12 is sponsored by Travis McCarter; Sept. 9 is sponsored by Alexander Guest House; Oct. 14 is sponsored by Humana-Keith Rogers; and Nov. 11 is sponsored by Daniel Forrester Law Office.
