June 25, 2010 - PRLog -- LAWRENCEBURG – Country Cottage announces its BBQ meal pick up on July 1 from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.  Thank you to those who bought tickets for a plated dinner donated in support of our local veterans van.  Tickets are still available and all of the proceeds will be proudly donated to support area veterans in the form of a large check.
Several years ago, Wanda Newell spearheaded an effort to buy a van to transport veterans to their doctors and to the VA center.  She received a grant to purchase the van, and has been using it for over two years now.  This has been a wonderful resource to local vets as it makes it easier for them to visit their doctors and receive other services they are entitled to.  The grant she received for this van, however, does not cover gas or maintenance.  We need some help to raise money to cover these additional costs.
“The van means a lot to the veterans’ community,” says Newell.  “Veterans who previously did not have a way to get to the VA hospital or whose family members had to take time off work can now use the county van.  It is important that veterans are able to use their benefits and get the medical care they need.  I also like it because we reduce the number of cars on the road, reducing emissions and traffic.”
“I just want to thank the community for their support in our effort to raise money for these veterans who have given so much of themselves for our country,” said Mary Sue Troup, Information Director at the Cottage.
Country Cottage is located at 469 Weakley Creek Road in Lawrenceburg.  For more information about the VA fundraiser or Country Cottage, or if you would like to purchase a ticket please contact the Cottage at 760-0660. Visit us online at http://www.cottageassistedliving.com.
