am to 1:00 pm, at The Whitehall House, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood, PA 15227 (Located behind the John F. Slater Funeral Home). Todd DePastino knows how to tell a good story. As an award-winning historian, that’s his job. But for the past decade, he’s been focused on listening. And the stories he’s heard— some beautiful and heartbreaking, others gut-wrenching—are largely about war. Todd is co-founder and director of the Veterans Breakfast Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to gathering veterans of all eras and generations together to share their stories of service. Using photographs of the veterans he’s met and interviewed, Todd will tell the extraordinary WWII stories he’s heard from veterans living in the region and will also discuss his quest to preserve and celebrate them. Lunch is $10 per person. Veterans Lunches are complimentary. Please call to register: 412881-9022 or email: communityservice@johnfslater.com
