About Westbrook Village Veterans Club
The club was founded in 2013 to recognize WWII veterans residing in Westbrook Village and has since grown to honor all veterans in Westbrook. The Westbrook Village Veterans Club is a service and social club, working for our veterans and socializing through different events.
Our organization has two major meetings a month. The 2nd Wednesday of the month is informative and general business meeting, with the 3rd Tuesday meeting a social time that we call “Esprit de Corps Happy Hour.” Just because we’re no longer on active duty doesn’t mean we can’t continue to share our camaraderie and esprit de corps. Come lift a glass and share a story.
Additional activities include service projects where we come together to help one of our own or local veteran organizations that support veterans and their families.
We are raising funds by providing food and refreshments for Westbrook Village’s Annual Craft Fair in November. We host a solemn ceremony on Memorial Day to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Our major fundraising event each year is the Veterans Honor Dinner Gala held near Veterans Day in November and is a sell-out each year. This year’s theme for the Gala is “Welcome Home”, recognizing and thanking our Vietnam and Koren Veterans who did not get a proper Thank You for Your Service. Since our inception we have awarded over $100,000 to local organizations.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the members of the Westbrook Village Veterans Club (WVVC) I would like to personally invite you to our club, not just to observe but to get involved. Reignite that feeling for Community, Patriotism, and Camaraderie, join our club and make a difference.
Carl Ulbrich,
President
