When reality sets in……
The recent situation with COVID has resulted in some hard truths for the Brattleboro VFW. Clubs have taken a beating financially, along with a lot of other businesses.
We have had to cancel all our functions since March. No dinner/dances, birthday parties, wedding receptions, regular bingos, cancer or Brattleboro Firefighter’s bingos, banquets, holiday parties, etc. etc.
We had to shut down completely for three months, but still the bills came in. Some grants from the government helped pay some, but not all of those bills.
We paid for licenses we can no longer use, insurance that covers a closed building, pre buy heating fuel, and on and on.
At this time, we are only able to offer to-go meals from Mon- Fri from 11:30am – 1:30pm, and an occasional Saturday meal. With no idea how long this situation will last this time, we will continue as long as we are able, but we need the support of the public. A little bit of money coming in is better than nothing at all. Will it be enough to cover all the bills? Not even close. But we will try for as long as we are able to.
Sadly, there may not be a VFW left if this continues. No place for our veterans to go to talk. Or to listen.
No parties. No dinners. No bingos.
I thought it time that people were made aware of this fact. I do not want judgments. I do not want complaints.
I do want ideas on how to keep going. I do want to see our customers, friends, and acquaintances.
I hope you all stay safe. I hope you all stay healthy. And keep wearing those masks.
