On behalf of the United War Veterans Council I hosted 7 veterans from Samaritan Daytop Village along the Navesink River area of NJ.
Big thanks to our friends at Umberto’s Pizzeria for providing a fun filled afternoon where the veterans created their own pizzas. A nice touch was that they coordinated to make different types of pizza for everyone to share. This simple event brought a lot of joy into the veterans lives. Some, including myself, even learned to toss the pizzas in the air and catch them!
We ended the afternoon embracing the weather at Ani Art Academies America where Kevin Moore gave a class on how to draw snowmen using charcoal pencils.
