Veterans Hall Project
Saturday, September 15th – Poker Run
For more than 65 years the Dixon-Conderman VFW Post has been a home for thousands of veterans looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the companionship of other veterans. In last years ‘Benefit Ride’, the Post raised $5,000 for Veterans at Craven Community College WFDP, and were involved in many community activities, supporting: ‘Wreaths Across America’, ‘Patriot’s Pen – Voice of Democracy’, and Christmas visits for veterans at assisted living facilities. It’s the goal of Dixon-Conderman Post 2514 to support all of the veterans in this community with our outreach efforts as we seek to live up to the motto of our National organization, in that ‘No One Does More for Veterans, than Veterans of Foreign Wars’.
At the last meeting of Dixon-Conderman Post 2514, the members voted to do a ‘Poker-Run Benefit Ride’, to support offering the facilities to more veteran’s, veteran’s groups and organizations. Currently, the ‘Craven County Veterans Council’ meets monthly at the post, however recent emergencies of plant and facilities have created a more comprehensive emergency plan of action to be able to extend our services. We are looking for the help of the community to assist our efforts in reaching out to more veterans. If we are successful with our efforts, the legacy of this facility on the Neuse River, will continue to be a welcome home for veterans and their families for decades to come.
