From GCCOA: Special Reception Honoring World War II Vets

Greetings to All!

We hope you will consider joining us next Wednesday, November 9th for a very special reception honoring our World War II veterans.  This reception is being held in honor of those veterans we have lost and those we are privileged to still have with us.  

The reception will be held in the Media Room at the Greene County Complex (541 Ledbetter Road) in Xenia, from 4-6pm.  We will have a few displays in memory of some of these heros and a number of veterans will be with us to whom we can talk and share our appreciation and thanks.  Light refreshments will be served and we will have a few remarks at 4:30pm from Xenia Mayor Marsha Bayless, County Commissioner Rick Perales, and Veterans’ Services Director Lance Woodward. 

We will then introduce a wonderful comic book, The Liar’s Club, capturing stories and memories of three local WWII Veterans ~ Charlie Bath, Earl Ellis, and Jack Newhouse which was created by Michael Fleishman of Yellow Springs and features illustrations by Mark Gibbs.  Mike will share a bit about his experience with these three amazing men and a poster display of some of the comic book pages will surround us.  This display will then open at the Yellow Springs Arts Council Gallery (309 Xenia Avenue) on Friday, November 11th from 6-9pm.

We are saddened by the very recent loss of Earl Ellis, one of our Liar’s Club members.  Family and friends of Earl will be joining us at the reception who will make sure Earl’s heart and spirit fill the room.  We thank them for sharing this day with us.

This reception is open to all and we invite you to come as well as share the information with others.  We ask that you call or e-mail your RSVP to Tim Brickey (937-376-5486 or tim.brickey@gccoa.org ) by November 4th to assist with the planning for refreshments.  And if you or someone you are bringing is a veteran, we respectfully request that you share this with us so we can make sure he/she is acknowledged.

For WWII veterans, if transportation is a challenge, please let us know and we will do our best to assist with arrangements.  Several of the senior centers are providing transportation to and from the reception and other resources are available.

We look forward to greeting you next Wednesday at this very special event.

Warmest regards,

Karen
