VVA Chapter 1069 Christmas Party - Dec 13, 2023
[posted on: 12-10-2024]
Texas VVA Chapter 1069 held its 12th annual Christmas Party
at Mikeska's BBQ in El Campo. Approximately 65 members, spouses & guests attended this
year's Christmas party!
The Social hour lasted from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Wine, beer, punch & snacks were enjoyed before
the meal, with a gift raffle following the meal and a short meeting. Chapter President,
Wayne Woods, served as host for the evening event.
The evening dinner was catered by Mikeska's BBQ. The membership enjoyed roast beef,
buttered mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, salad, with peach cobbler & ice cream for
dessert. The Mikeska staff really did a wonderful job preparing and serving the meal and the
chapter thanks them for the great job they did.
And a BIG THANK-YOU to chapter members Louis & Carolyn Milder,
John & Brenda Steelman, and all the other members & spouses who helped plan, organize &
setup the year's Christmas party. Be sure to thank those folks the next time you see them.

Above and below photos shows chapter Secretary/Treasurer, John Steelman, giving special recognition to
Chapter President, Richard Woods, for his donation of a gift to the chapter of two custom built framed
Vietnam Veterans posters, that Richard himself made in his home workshop.
Note that these are not just ordinary frames, as the wood used on each frame and the way the
each frame was constructed represents the underlying purpose of each poster image.
John spoke about the construction that went into the two donated framed
posters and thanked Richard on behalf of the chapter membership. Both framed posters were later hung
on the banquet hall wall.
At party closing, names for all raffle items, door prizes and poinsettias were drawn and then
handed out. Door prizes consisted of extra meal plates from Mikeska’s.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this year's Christmas party and thanks to everyone who
came to the party! From VVA Chapter 1069, we hope everyone has a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
