The Veterans Committee has been hard at work planning our Memorial Day Ceremony. On Monday, May 27, 2024 at 2 pm, we will be holding a Wreath Laying Ceremony, lead by American Legion Post 129. We are extending an invitation to the entire Holiday City Berkeley community, especially all veterans, to join us in honoring the men and women who have served our country. The ceremony will be in front of Clubhouse 1, at the flag display. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

The Committee has created a Veterans Registry which is published in our newspaper, on our web site and located in the office and library. We would appreciate if it all the veterans submit these forms so we may include our vets in future events. These forms can be dropped off or mailed to the office.

Please Save the Date! Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 6 pm we are having a Veterans Day Dinner and Dance. Live music will be provided by Who Are You Guys?, a fabulous band playing music from the 50's, 60's and 70's. We are also planning on some special guests to honor our veterans. Tickets will go on sale in July.
