The Vesper Community Center volunteers will be hosting the annual Memorial Day Luncheon in Vesper on Monday, May 29th from 11:30am to 2:00pm. The public is invited to visit the community center and enjoy a meal during the day while visiting memorials around the county. The interior of the community center recently was updated with new paint and trim and has a new updated look for the event.
This year, the menu includes sloppy joes, cheesy potatoes and ham, green bean casserole, a choice of dessert, coffee, tea or bottled water. Desserts this year will include apple spice cake, cheese cake, brownies, cookies, pies and other treats. The Memorial Day Luncheon is the community center’s biggest fundraiser of the year. A donation is appreciated to cover the cost of the meal which helps support the Community Center’s programs. If you would like to donate a dessert, please contact Jodie Wiebke or call her at the community center - (785) 524 2466 or use the sign up form on the vespercc.org website.
This year will feature a special display of some original 1960s Vesper baseball uniforms. The baseball jersey uniforms are being silent auctioned during the meal. The center plans to keep some of the jerseys for its own display purposes and auction the rest so they can find good homes.
