July 4 Cookout at VAPSHS CLC - Party On The Patio!

Thanks to the joint efforts of many parties, a cookout was held in the Peace Garden at the Community Living Center (CLC) of VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, on Independence Day 2014.
Food was donated by J P Work & Associates, The Pacific Institute, Jefferson Square Safeway, with funding by DAV Chapter 23 (West Seattle). Thanks Friends! (Everybody be sure to give your business to our donors, that's not why they gave but it's how we can thank them).

Thanks also to the volunteers who pitched in and made this possible, and to the staff at the VA who even though working on a holiday went the extra mile to support this awesome event.
Here are a few pictures to enjoy.
