On Wednesday afternoon, December 18th, Unit 330 of the American Legion Auxiliary presented a Christmas party for the veterans at Majestic Healthcare in New Haven.
Approximately 20 veterans were in attendance with family and friends as guests. A number of veterans were unable to be present at the gathering due to health issues.
Snacks of pinwheel sandwiches, mini-hotdogs, cheese, crackers and fruit were served with decorated cookies for dessert. As the veterans ate, a special guest magician made his way among the tables with tricks for entertainment.
After lunch, Santa distributed Christmas gifts to the veterans, an insulated mug with an American Flag logo.
Thanks go out to Becky Beardsley, President of Unit 330 Auxiliary, Marilyn Herman and Sandy Dager of Unit 330 and Larry Beardsley, Darell Fish and Ron Dager for their help in serving and assisting with the event.
