VFW to host special Elvis night and St. Patrick’s Dinner
Two big events are coming up at North Fort Myers VFW Post 10127- a Night With Elvis fund raiser Saturday, March 10, and a St. Patrick’s Day event on Saturday, March 17. Both events are open to the public.
“We have an Elvis performer who performs in Las Vegas who, once a year, comes back down to Florida and has Las Vegas shows at some of the VFWs,” Post Commander Jeff Rousey said. “His name is Elvis Davis. I grew up with my mother being a great Elvis fan, so I also listened to his music because it was what she listened to. I have invited my mother and step-father for this. She’s very excited.”
The cost is $20 per person and includes a full steak dinner and the show. Tickets must be purchased in advance at the post, or call for a reservation and information.
The second event is a St. Patrick’s Day dinner with the traditional corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and dessert on the special day, Saturday, March 17. That event is also open to the public, and the cost is $11. Entertainment will be by Rick Norris.
“Life is good at the post,” said Rousey. “Membership is up, but we are always looking for new members. We also now have an Internet Cafe area, a benefit to members, where they can Skype, use Facebook, check e-mail and play sweepstake games.”
Members said they really enjoy that feature.
“The Elvis benefit is the first one like it for us,” said Ladies Auxiliary president Carol Ainsco. “We have a lot of programs we support, including the North Fort Myers High School Junior ROTC and the North Fort Myers Little League.”
The North Fort Myers VFW Post 10127 is at 996 Pondella Rd. For reservations and information call 995-0230.
