Veterans’ dinner and program
Friday, November 6 at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church, Minocqua
About this event
The Veterans' dinner and program is a community evening at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church in Rhinelander, a short drive from Minocqua. It opens with a welcome, moves to a program with a veteran guest speaker, and then serves a catered dinner. The evening honors anyone who has served in the U.S. military, and their families and friends are welcome to attend.
Who's playing
The program's guest speaker is Casey Krump, a veteran who speaks before the meal. Little else is published about him, so expect a personal talk from someone who has served rather than a formal presentation. The speaker is the center of the program, and the dinner follows his remarks.
What to expect
The evening runs in three parts: a welcome, the program with the guest speaker, and then a catered dinner. St. Augustine's is a church rather than a restaurant, so the room has the feel of a parish gathering. The church has a 1929 Pilcher pipe organ with about 1,000 pipes, a detail many visitors notice first.
Why go
Donations from the evening go toward support and assistance for veterans, so the dinner does more than feed people. St. Augustine's has been part of Rhinelander since 1892, when its building went up in 1894. It has also hosted The Table, a community meal program, for about 30 years, which makes it a familiar gathering place for the area.
