Lemont Veteran & First Responder Appreciation
Lemont
Knights of Columbus Council #1599 is planning a special recognition program for
all Lemont active military and veterans along with first responders who are
active or retired on November 9th.
A special mass will be conducted at 5pm at St. Patrick church. Lemont Police Chief, Kevin Shaughnessy will
be a feature speaker at the church service.
All faiths are invited. Follow
the mass a free spaghetti dinner will be provided for military, veterans and first
responders with their spouse or significant other at the Lemont Township
Community Center starting at 6:30pm.
The
Council decided it is long overdue that a recognition program was in order for
our Lemont heroes. Program chairmen,
Gary Gunderson and David Anderson both stated, “these are the men and women who
respond to disaster and defense of our nation when so many others stand
aside”. Service personnel, veterans,
first responders (active & retired) are encouraged to attend one or both
events. Seating capacity for the dinner
is limited to 150. For more information
