VETS: Lunch is happily served

The 2015, 7th annual Vernon Baker Memorial Day Free Lunch for Veterans was a huge success, with 142 veterans receiving a free meal at one of the three North Idaho Capone’s Locations, Mid City Pub, Michael D’s Eatery or the Fourth Street Taco Time. A huge THANK YOU to these restaurants for their great generosity, to our volunteers Patti Leach and VFW Post 889, and to our generous donors Eric Soles and Dick and Shirlee Wandrocke, and the Coeur d’Alene Press for getting the word out. It is great to see so many good people receive a free meal, on a day that should be about them, in the memory of our own Vernon Baker.
