Chapter Volunteers at
Phoenix MANA House
On Memorial Day, Bob Denny, BMG Veteran Committee Chair and Compatriot Rob Welch, along with our spouses Ronnie Welch and Carolyn Denny, were privileged to serve an outdoor BBQ dinner to all veterans who reside at MANA House.
It was an honor for us to represent the BMG Chapter and chat with the resident Veterans while allowing the normal servers the opportunity to have the day off on this Memorial Day.
Following up on previous updates, we are continuing to reach out to Catholic Charities MANA House. (MANA stands for Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force). This is a
great local Arizona charity serving Military Veterans experiencing homelessness. There is quite an expansion of services at MANA House underway. The outreach program assists male and female vets.
