[NFBOH-Cleveland] Cleveland Updates

[Suzanne Turner]

Good Evening Cleveland Members,

 

I hope you are safe, healthy and well!

 

Happy Memorial Weekend. Please remember our soldiers who have provided
security, independence and protection for America with their unselfish
service and honor. Without them, our country would not be the land of the
free.

I want to extend a thank you to those Cleveland members who have submitted
names to Adopt A High School or College Senior. Please note that you can
jointly adopt the three students that currently have profiles. If you would
like to add your name to the list of Cleveland members, please send me a
text or email. Soon additional names of students will become available.

Also, thank you to the Cleveland members who wrote wonderful heartfelt
messages to our Veterans who are hospitalized at the MLK Jr. VA Hospital. I
am sure that the cards and messages will lift their spirits.
