The news donated $1,000 to a fund administered by the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System to help homeless vets.

As reported by Lynn Monson of the Ann Arbor News, they've organized dance nights, silent auctions, a Rosie the Riveter dinner and dance event, a golf outing, several bottle deposit drives. And they're still at it. For this year, they have scheduled a USO-like dinner and dance with a swing orchestra at the Dexter Knights of Columbus Hall on March 15. There's a golf outing set for May 10 at Reddeman Farms and some restaurant fundraisers in the works.

How to get involved with Pride and Honor Flight: • If you served in the armed forces during World War II, you are eligible to join a flight to Washington to see the national World War II Memorial, free of charge. • The next scheduled trips are April 19, May 17 and June 14. Although the April and May flights are full, cancellations are common, so a waiting list is available. • If you would like to go along on a trip as a volunteer helper, the cost is $300. The job involves assisting one or two veterans through the day. • Monetary donations are necessary to support the nonprofit enterprise. • To sign up, contribute money or learn more, call Jack or Faye Wiseley at 734-426-8931, or check the Honor Flight Network website or you can e-mail the Wiseleys at jfwiseley@chartermi.net Search all listings in Michigan with pictures and tours...Free!
