Art Holst at last years Service Above Self-Honoring Our Vets
Karen Diane Kerry was our speaker at our lunch on November 3rd., with her special guest Art Holst a World War II Veteran.
Karen talked about how much that we need a Fisher House in Ann Arbor. We have 634,000 Veterans in our State, but we have no Fisher House. There are states with even less Veterans that have 2 or more Houses.
Construction of the House will cost $7.5 million, we need to raise $3.75 million for the match. A Service Above Self-Honoring Our Vets event is coming Wednesday, 11/9 at Michigan Theater. Donations can be given at the event or by going to our team donation page at Donate Fisher House/Join Our Team. All donations will all go towards the Fisher House Ann Arbor.
Art Holst then talked about the Veterans that are going to speak at the event. He said, "that our Veterans are a perfect example of Service Above Self."
