Welcome Dear Friends, Tonight we applaud the Veterans Community Project’s 4th anniversary by celebrating what it has accomplished and sharing with you where VCP is headed. And we’re inviting you to come along with us on this important journey.
Marc and Sue Krass
The House Party 2020 Co-Chairs
Just as VCP is unlike most nonprofit agencies, so will be our House Party broadcast this evening.
Because we can’t all be together again for another dinner bash at Union Station, we have designed our relatively brief time online to entertain and inform, to generate some laughs and to warm your hearts, to offer you some over-thetop live auction packages that you just can’t buy on Amazon or anywhere else, and so much more. But most importantly, VCP wants you to appreciate the differences we make in so many veterans’ lives and to welcome your continued engagement as we Continue the Mission. So please pour your favorite beverage, sit back and join our House Party from the comfort of your own home. After all, not everyone has a home to call their own, but the Veterans Community Project is hell bent on changing that.
