August 23, 2008 Fund raiser in the sun,
Saturday August 23, 2008.
Fund raiser in the sun, finally.
Today is sunny, at long last. I set up out front of the Vimy Legion for the fund raiser. Ducky showed up shortly after I got set up and he got the BBQ ready. The day started out slow with lots of people checking my booth out but the only people that donated $20. for a free shirt were legion members and the guy next door who let me plug into his house. I gave him a shirt for giving me power for the RV. The guy 's Mum bought a shirt, so for the day I received $80. in donations. I spent the time wisely, I used the time to catch up on my log book. I stayed out there until 7:30pm. I wonder what we have to do to raise money, this day was advertised on the news and no one showed up. I have talked to lots of Veterans on this trip and they must feel, as I do that the veterans have been getting the dirty end of the stick for years. I hope our mission of gathering videos of our veterans stories will change that fact
