Announcing the 2020 Events Calendar!

1/24/2020

0 Comments

 
In an effort to organize our approach better in 2020, and to let all of our Veterans know our plans so that they can adjust their own calendars if necessary, we have produced our first yearly Events Calendar for this year!  This is a collaboration of the ownership and management staff at the Center and we feel will greatly aid us in focusing our efforts appropriately throughout the year.

Since this is January and there are some plans in flux, this Calendar is a "work in progress" and a rough draft, if you will, for the year.  The dates listed are solid dates, but many "details" of the events will be added at a later date.  Check back or watch this blog for the latest news!

First Luau a Huge Success!

8/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Last Saturday the Veteran's Community Center of Citrus Heights hosted a "Luau" for both charity and to raise money for the Center.  Tickets sold for $35/each and there was Hawaiian music, dancers and of course FOOD!  

The setting was out on the back patio and set up in the amazing horseshoe courts at the Center.  There was also a silent auction with donated baskets containing different goodies, from soaps to wines to events to even a Walmart card!  

Fun and great fellowship was had by all and while the final tally isn't known to this author, as I was in attendance it seemed to be a wonderful success!  Next time we'll have a flyer up ahead of time and do a better job of promoting the event.

Thank you to all who worked to make this successful, and contributed their time and efforts to make the Center ready for this event.  And thanks to all who came and bought tickets, and goodies through the silent auction.  We appreciate all of you!

Toys for Tots 2017

Once again the Veterans Community Center (this Veterans Golf Park charity) is involved in Toys for Tots with the Marine Corp Reserves. 

​On Thursday and Friday (December 7th and 8th) we held a two day collection event at the local Walmart at 7010 Auburn Blvd (very near the Community Center around the corner on Sylvan Rd) and were once again thoroughly impressed by the generosity of the community in which we live!  We took in loads of new toys and a nice amount of money too (which goes to toys within the Walmart store), including 5 new bicycles!  Amazing to see and be a part of this great local charity event.

Thanks to all who helped make this a great success, both through your contributions of time, money or toys....or any of the above!  

Here's a couple quick photos:

If you didn't make it by but will still like to donate (new toys, money or even new clothes for up to teen age would be welcome) you can bring by your donation to the Veterans Community Center at 6921 Sylvan Rd on any weekday between 9am and 1pm.  Donations will be accepted up until the end of the month (December 29, 2017)
