VETS DAY VIII BBQ at Manteno Veterans Home
Saturday August 16, 2008

Manteno Veterans Home
1 Veterans Drive
MANTENO, IL.
60950-9466

Volunteer sign up 10 am

On the day of our event, we feed over 300 Members of the Home. We serve Italian Sausage, Boneless Chicken Breast, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Baked Beans, Corn on the Cob, Salads, Pies and Ice Cream. Volunteers go to different wings and meet the Veteran that they would spend time with. They bring them out and help them fill their plates. After they've eaten, they get to play games where they win hats, t-shirts, stuffed animals and other donated items. Antique cars and motorcycles are also on display.

Last years Seventh Annual Vets Day BBQ at Manteno Veterans Home was another huge success, thanks to the participation of 128 volunteers from five states including, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
