Military veterans from Anderson County are again invited to a community veterans breakfast Feb. 10 at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St.
The “chow line” opens at 8:30 a.m. and there will be a brief program at 9 a.m., according to a news release.
The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, began in 2016 and is entering its eighth year. It’s sponsored this month by the Clinton Lions Club, which has been serving the community since 1940.
Anderson County residents and community volunteers work together to make the breakfast a free monthly event that will allow veterans of all ages and branches to fellowship and share stories. Veterans are welcome to bring spouses, family, or friends. The city of Clinton is recognized as a special sponsor for hosting the monthly location and setup. Local media are especially recognized for their role in letting veterans know about the breakfast each month.
Many generous donors are also recognized for providing monthly door prizes.
The March 9 breakfast will be sponsored by Rebecca Watts with Humana; April 13 by Clinch River Home Healthcare; May 11 by American Legion Post 172 and American Legion Riders Post 172; and June 8 by Ray Varner Ford.
