It is always great to see veterans of various ages attend, share their stories with each other, and even make some new friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, I want people to know that as with last six years I\u2019ve held this dinner, no town funds are being used for it whatsoever as this is not a government-based event. Rather, I am personally covering the cost because this is just something I thought would be nice to do again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy family always looks forward to this annual event. We even have a surprise special guest lined up to attend. So, if you\u2019re a veteran from the town of Verona, I sure hope to see you and your family at my thank you dinner!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While reservations are not required, veterans who plan on attending are asked to contact Fritz at <a href=\"mailto:fritz@fritzscherz.com\">fritz@fritzscherz.com<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:(315)%20363-3509\">(315) 363-3509<\/a>\u00a0by Nov. 8\u00a0so he can better plan how much food to have.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, if folks have any food allergies, Fritz wants to plan accordingly.\u00a0For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fritzscherz.com\/\">www.fritzscherz.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/fritzscherz\">www.twitter.com\/fritzscherz<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fritzscherz.blogspot.com\/\">www.fritzscherz.blogspot.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred \u201cFritz\u201d Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the Verona Town Board, will hold his seventh\u00a0annual thank you dinner for all town of Verona veterans and their families Saturday, Nov. 11, from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Verona Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6811 (4928 Spring Road) in Verona. \u201cI have fond admiration for veterans and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,21571],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-story","category-veterans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=86116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=86116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=86116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=86116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
