Enthusiastic members of the audience danced to such oldies as “Johnny B. Goode,” “My Girl,” “Dancing in the Moonlight,” and “Hit Me with Your Best Shot.”
Gaye Hieb, Chaplain of the VFW Auxiliary, gave the Invocation. Public Relations Coordinator Sarah Nachin, speaking on behalf of Gus Guadagnino, who could not be there, welcomed everyone to the event. Guadagnino is the founder and CEO of Veterans’ HEAT Factory.
