YMCA to Honor Veterans with Nov. 11 Event

The Anderson Area YMCA will host a Veteran’s Day Celebration Nov. 11 at 10:30 am in the Community Room of the Anderson Area YMCA.

This year, the celebration will feature special guest speaker, Kathryn Smith, the author of “A Necessary War: Anderson County Residents Remember World War II.” Kathryn will be joined by some of the veterans of Anderson County whose accounts are featured in her book.

There will be refreshments and Kathryn will be signing books. This event will be an opportunity to celebrate and honor the bravery, courage, and dedication of our community’s veterans and everyone from the community is invited to attend. In addition to the celebration, the Anderson Area YMCA hopes to honor our veterans by collecting body wash for the residents of the Richard Campbell Veterans Home. All donations can be placed in the designated bin at the Anderson Area YMCA.
