2023 Kick Off Event. The fishing was outstanding over 300 fish taken and 123 Veterans participated. The Pizza Truck was a group favorite once again and the Dogs / Burgers went down as fast as the Club members could cook them. Thank you to all the Veterans for your service and sacrifice to this Great Nation.

Thanksgiving Dinner / Quilts of Valor

As always, the volunteers from the Quilts of Valor, Branford Congregational Church, Branford Rotary Club, Branford High Scholl (Interact Club), Disabled Veterans Association and Girl Scouts Troop #3 made this a truly special day for our Veterans. The food was excellent, plentiful and served with a smile. The quilts present by “Quilts of Valor” really brought smiles out of four of the veterans, Willie Williams USMC, Christiana Alkire, USMC, Bob Pieta USN, Pete Cimino Branford Rotary Club. Thank you to all the volunteers and the Veterans that came out to enjoy this special day.
