VETERANS-- THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
On Wednesday August 28th SONS of Lake Erie Volunteers met the “At the Lake Ministries” specially equipped boat the Jo-Ann M.at the ferry boat landing on Liberty Pier. Two van loads of military veterans from the Erie VA Hospital and the Soldiers and Sailors home arrived for a outing on the Jo-Ann M sponsored by the SONS. Sixteen vets and their support staff along with SONS Volunteers who were also veterans boarded the vessel after a safety briefing and short prayer led by the boat’s captain Rev. Rob Wilson. The boarding which included 9 wheel chair patients went quite smoothly with the assistance of Captain Dan Wilson, SONS volunteers and staff from the agencies. The Jo-Ann M motored out onto Presque Isle Bay where the vets were treated to a fishing experience. After the outing they were treated to a picnic lunch that was prepared by SONS volunteers.
Also this year we
awarded 60 vouchers for a fishing trip on the head boats Edward John and
Perch pirate. The recipients of the vouchers were chosen by a lottery in
which over 300 veterans were given a free chance. This method allowed the
winners to choose a date and time that was most convenient for them to go
fishing. Funds for You can learn more about " At the Lake Ministries" at http://atthelakeministries.org/ |
