German dinner crowd tops 200

Endicott

The Endicott Community Club held its annual German Dinner and Silent Auction Nov. 5. The event was set up in the school cafeteria and gym Nov. 4. The crowd numbered more than 200. The cafeteria filled with people and some had to wait a short time to find a seat.

The auction had four rows of tables filled with a variety of items. The funds are going to create a veterans appreciation site at Multi-Flora Park.

The school will host a veterans program today, Thursday, Nov. 9, at 12:15 p.m. Some of the students will be hosting a veteran of their choice.

Endicott Veterans Program

by Pastor Fred Tribble

In 1918, on the 11th month, the 11th day, and the 11th hour, the guns fell silent in western Europe and World War I ended.

In 1954, Congress changed the name of the observance from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.

In commemoration of this day and all those who have served our nation in uniform, a program of music, military stories and food will be provided.

The program will be held in the Endicott School Multipurpose Room on Saturday, Nov. 11, from 11 a.m.

to 1 p.m.

The meal is free of charge, but donations will be accepted.

The program will include toasts to the services, salutes to those who served, a traditional POW/MIA table, and bugle calls for colors, "Taps" for POW/MIAs, mess call and retreat to end the program.

This program is being sponsored by Endicott Bible Church as a way of saying "Thank you" to all those who have served. For further information, contact Pastor Fred Tribble at 509-657-3790.
