Alcona's National Honor Society hosted another successful Coffee for Veterans event Sunday with a tailgate party theme for the Lions game. Veterans had a field goal contest and cornhole competition for prizes. Bonnie Baker created a Quilts of Valor panel, which was given to the oldest veteran in attendance, Tom Heatly, 85-years-old. Our next event will be Sunday, December 1st, from 2 to 4 pm. Please share with any veteran family members and friends.
