Varnum Events & News

Upcoming Events:

-- April 12, Monday -- Steak Fry & Speaker, Ron Sullman, Host

-- May 15, Saturday -- The Varnum Continentals will hold a special Armed Forces Day event “Cookies & Cards” on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 15, 2010, from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the Varnum Armory Museum. The public – adults and children alike – are invited to stop by the Varnum Armory to create cards, which will be sent to local troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

All materials needed to create cards will be provided: all the sender needs to add is creativity. Boxes of cookies, donated by local grocery chains, will be sent along with the cards. Cookies will also be available to munch on while senders create their cards. Armed Forces Day was created to encourage the public to show support for the men and women who make up the armed forces community. All who have served or are currently serving are recognized, be they active military, veterans, or recruits.
