Manteno Bustrip 2008

WCVAs presenting a check for $8000.00 to Kathy Z. at Manteno. WCVA had a very successful fundraiser which enabled them for the second year in a row to donate $8000.00 to the disabled veterans. Sadly, this year's bustrip only had a total of 8 veterans go on the bustrip. ALL who went had a great time with beer, sandwiches, pizza and friendship.
