     Would like to announce the first VA&R Ward Party this year. Saturday November 28, 2009 starting at 2:00P.M. It will be held at the Menlo Park Veterans Home. The Bingo/Pizza Party will be held in the Waters' Edge area. Group leader for this party will be Detachment Sgt. at Arms Matt Bieda. Try to arrive an half hour early to help out.
      I would like to thank Matt Bieda for taking care of this Ward Party, Detachment Commander Jay Gillman for making the long trip up to Menlo Park. I'm still disappointed by the negative Detachment Officers turnout. Need to ship up and make these Ward Parties.
