City of Chelan gains new Veteran Hall

Chelan Mayor accepts ‘gift’ from Chelan PUD, city council

From left, VFW Post #6853 Commander Jacques “Butch” Sims, city of Chelan Mayor and veteran Bob Goedde and fellow veterans, Brian Thompson, Sr. and Dan Wilson stand in front of a building that has been “gifted” to them for the use of veterans activities. Goedde said it was through the generosity of the PUD as well as the Washington Revised Codes of 1946, which allows a municipality to give bona fide veterans groups the right to use a municipal building at no charge. Monthly meetings of the VFW will be held at the new Veterans Hall. For more information, email Goedde: bgoedde@cityofchelan.us.    Gary Bégin/WBJ
