Association holds meeting
SMITHFIELD Frank Santa presided when the Jefferson County Veterans Association met recently at the Friendship Park office.
A meeting in February had been canceled because of inclement weather.
Members are working on plans for pouring concrete for a walk around the front of the Memorial Wall that bears the names of more than 600 veterans who served from the Civil War through present time.
A donation of flowers from the Sons of the American Legion Post No. 682 in Hopedale will be added along the wall in the spring.
Plans are to paint the picnic shelter on the grounds of the Veterans Memorial Park. The shelter is used for meetings and to place the sound equipment for the two programs held during the year.
