EmpireArea Veterans and the public are invited to attend the Veterans Appreciation Luncheon next Monday, November 9th.

It takes place at The Empire Living Centre and Outreach Manager Mike Anthony says this is the second year they are holding this event.

He says they started this last year as a way to recognize not just the date of November 11th – but also National Veterans Week.

Anthony says there will be dignitaries and a guest speaker on hand. That is Lieutenant-Colonel Michel Roy, the Wing Administration and Technical Services Officer for 22 Wing.

Among his service highlights are serving as Joint Interoperability Test Command in Arizona, and with the Multinational Force and Observer Mission in Sinai Egypt.

He says there is limited seating for the event so they’re taking reservations through Wednesday (Nov 4th).

If interested contact The Empire and ask for Mike at 474-9555 ext 168.
