The Wautoma Freemasons Lodge (No. 148) recently held a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser which was a resounding success, thanks to the incredible support of their community! The Freemasons were very proud to announce that they exceeded their fundraising goal, donating $600 to Old Glory Honor Flight!
The dinner was very well attended with eighty-one participants, including many veterans, who enjoyed a delicious meal and meaningful fellowship. The evening featured a heartfelt flag-folding presentation by the National Sojourners, celebrating our nation’s values. Additionally, the Blazing Stars 4-H Club continued their tradition by creating thoughtful cards for our veterans.
Old Glory Honor Flight was founded in 2009 by a loyal group of volunteers based in Appleton whose mission of “Honoring Our Local Veterans One Mission at a Time” which includes all veterans who served prior to May 7, 1975. The Old Glory Honor Flight missions are completely free of charge to the veteran as a meaningful way to say ‘Thank You’ for their service. Every detail of their day-long trip has the vets’ best interest in mind to ensure they have a safe, memorable trip and one that conveys appreciation and admiration from the community.
