We have lots of active members here and Pop is one of them. Several chapter members received awards at the conclusion of the chapter calendar year. Pop not only took pictures of those receiving awards, but he received a few awards himself. Together, they began the year working on the chapter's first bingo party to be held in Danville at the VA Center. Mom received a medal for her work as chairperson of this event.
Pop takes pictures of the volunteers and everything that happens at the bingo parties.
Bingo is just one of the many activities for our chapter. All year, our chapter members stay busy with various veterans activities in Springfield, the state capital. I am honored to take their pictures during these events. A month before Valentines Day, chapter members began collecting Valentines for Veterans at the Danville VA Center where Mom and Pop have done volunteer work for several years. President Glenn Portwood chaired the activity this year, collecting over 5,000 valentines.
