Kevin Stymiest<\/a><\/strong> saw the jeep and decided to ask what it was all about. After talking for a few minutes he decided he would like to donate the proceeds to Task Force Vet Visits to help support our mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Task Force Vet Visits is all volunteers so 100% of donations go to support Active Duty, Veterans, Gold Star Families, and First Responders. According to founder Rocco Bortone, he was expecting a donation of $100-200. “Our biggest recurring expense is providing dinner for Lutz Buddy Up<\/a> Wrentham, Massachusetts. Our volunteers spend between $50-130 to feed up to 30 Veterans and First Responders each month. I was thinking the donation would cover a couple of dinners. When Kevin told me he would be donating $1000 from the Ice Fishing Derby to us I was very surprised.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Bortone, between this very generous donation and Oakham decals (available at Route 148 Package & Variety<\/a>), an appreciation dinner will be put on for Oakham’s Fire and Police Departments and their spouses. Jonathan Poe, of Route 148 Package & Variety, is working on the menu. The dinner is expected to be within the next 2 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bortone, who moved to Oakham in January of 2021, felt that the generosity of Kevin, his crew, and all the participants should go right back to the community. Oakham<\/a>, incorporated in 1762, has a population of approximately 1900 people. Despite the pandemic and inflation, it is very clear the People of Oakham support Our Troops and First Responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lutz Buddy Up Social dinners are hosted by Task Force Vet Visits, Inc (EIN: 82-4718819<\/a>) with the approval of Lcpl Janos V. Lutz Live to Tell Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you know of a Veteran or First Responder struggling let us know. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lake DeanOakham, MAParking at Pine Acre Campground203 Bechan Rd, Oakham, MA 01068 Kevin Stymiest saw the jeep and decided to ask what it was all about.
