JAY — VFW post #3335 and auxiliary in Jay will be resuming their Friday night suppers beginning the first Friday in November.

Local veteran’s organizations have taken a hit during the pandemic. Many have to make the decision on whether to close. Here in Jay the post and auxiliary are trying to do what they can to keep the bills paid until we can reopen. The VFW’s and auxiliaries nation wide have raised millions of dollars through our programs such as: Veterans and family support, hospital, legislature, scholarships, youth activities community service and Americanism.
