The Golden Age Foundation (GAF), through resident Anna Derby and members of the GAF Board, presented a $3,500 to support the Filipino Association of Leisure World’s (FALW) annual Veterans Picnic.

The annual FALW Veterans Picnic is slated for Saturday, July 7, at the Clubhouse 1 picnic grounds. This event was initially started by the FALW in 2009. It is held to make a grateful recognition for the sacrifices of the young men and women who served the United States Armed Forces and dedicated themselves to the preservation of the country’s freedom.

Only veterans and one guest residing in Leisure World will be qualified to RSVP. To register, veterans will be asked for their service branch, phone number, address and name of their guests.
