Posted

CLINTON — At the Clinton AMVETS Post 14 regularly scheduled meeting, held on September 10, members of the Post celebrated a night for the Danville VA hospitalized Veterans.

The Clinton Power Station (CPS) interns for the year 2018, entrusted AMVETS Post 14 with their project  They raised $1,275 designated for the Clinton AMVETS Post 14 to help veterans, and Clinton Power Station management matched the intern’s efforts with an added $1,475 donation.  

AMVETS members decided that the funds, plus $1,250 from Post 14, for a total of $4,000 would be donated to support the Danville VA Hospital.  

Post 14 solicited the help of Danville AMVETS Illiana Health Care System Representative from Post 52 in Fisher, Rudy Spaulding, to facilitate the process and determine how the funds could best be used.  He connected the Post to Danville representative Stacey Long, who made a presentation describing a special venture called the “Abe Lincoln Project” to improve areas in the facility.  

The project involves improving the dayroom, the breakroom, the family visiting area, and an outdoor pati, areas used by the terminally ill patients.

This undertaking once again demonstrates the AMVETS mission of “Veterans Helping Veterans,” AMVETS’ representatives said.  

AMVETS Post 14 members thanked Clinton Power Station interns and management for entrusting Clinton AMVETS to fulfill their project to help veterans.
