Our men and women at the Plymouth-Canton Vietnam Veterans, Chapter 528, are kindly inviting our community to an old fashioned Steak BBQ on May 31st. This will be the first Steak BBQ event of the year, and they are building on the success from last summer. It will held be on Friday, May, 31st, and will go from 5:00-7:00 PM. This event will be held at the Leon Suchorski Memorial BBQ & Pavilion, in the picnic area of the Plymouth VFW Post, at 1426 S Mill Street.

You can eat your dinner under the covered pavilion, or it will be served to you in the VFW Lounge, so do not worry about any weather issues! Our veterans have you covered!

Last summer's Steak BBQ events were wildly successful, due to the awesome steaks that Eastern Market of Canton provided, and because of the amazing BBQ skills of our grill-masters, as well as the wonderful support from our veteran's wives, and many other volunteers from the AVVA. Bottom line: Our Vietnam Veterans know how to grill meat, and grill it to perfection!

It is important to note that Marvin Jarbo, who owns Eastern Market of Canton, has generously provided the best meat in town, at a reduced price for these events, and that is the sole reason that the Steak BBQ's were able to happen, and be so successful. He has been a friend to our local veterans for many years, and they are grateful for his support.

Vietnam Veteran, Bob Dew conceived of this this event, and has run it every year. He's received such great feedback from both our veterans, and our community, that he's decided to make these Steak BBQ's a yearly event. “I loved the camaraderie amongst our members who worked so hard to make them successful” he said, and made sure to note what made him the most grateful, “The best thing about them though, is the community atmosphere. We love being involved with the community, and these BBQ's are a great way for folks to come on out, meet us, and see the things that we do.”
