STUDIO 60 SENIOR CENTER CARES ABOUT OUR VETERANS
Studio 60 honors our Senior Veterans for service to their country, family, and community. In November 2021, we partnered with Operation Gratitude for the first recognition day. We had a drive through the Center’s parking lot so we could give them an appreciation box.
Veterans Day 2022 we had a face-to-face breakfast. It was held at the Redstone Arsenal Summit. The American Legion, Post 237, and Columbia High School ROTC (under the direction of CSM Nathaniel Bartee) volunteered to help give out the gift boxes. The day was cold and rainy outside, but it was warm and energetic inside.
Our Veterans Celebration for November 2023 has been canceled due to many factors. We will let you know about 2024!
