MANTENO, Ill. (February 20, 2020) – Boy Scout Troop 276 recently put on another party for veterans at the Manteno Veterans Home. They served sloppy joes, chips, drinks, and snacks; held a raffle; and donated a variety of personal items. Musically talented scouts entertained the veterans with festive and familiar selections.
“Everyone very much enjoyed the very fulfilling event,” reported Scout Leader Chuck Murach. “And we were helped out with donations from Calumet Bakery and JJ Kelley’s.”
That is wonderful, thanks guys!
Such a wonderful and special event for all of the residents there. Hats off to the Boy Scouts.
