Dayton Chamber Veterans Appreciation Dinner features former US Senator Dean Heller

Event Date: 
November 10, 2019 - 5:00pm

Mike Kunz and Stephen Hipp, co-chairmen of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce Veterans Dinner and members of the chamber board of directors, announced today that former United States Senator Dean Heller will be the featured speaker at the Chamber's third annual Veterans Dinner.

The "Duncan Golf Management Honors Our Veterans" event will be held at the Dayton Valley Golf Club on 101 Palmer Dr. on Sunday, November 10, 5 p.m. The plated dinner will be served free to local veterans and their guests.

Kunz, a US Navy veteran, and Hipp, a US Marine Corps veteran, noted that "the dinner gives us an opportunity as a community to recognize our veterans and their families and the sacrifice they made for our country. We couldn't be more thrilled to have former Senator Heller, a staunch advocate of veterans during his 30 year service to this state, as our guest speaker."

The Northern Nevada All Veterans Honor Guard will be presenting the colors, and Lynne Heller, wife of Mr. Heller, will be singing the national anthem. Additionally, there will be a free raffle for the veterans, a ceremonial cake cutting ceremony, and live music featuring the dulcet tones of saxophonist David Lewis. The local Key Club of Dayton High School (the youth organization of Kiwanis) will be serving the dinner.

Kunz and Hipp also noted that veterans from Moundhouse to Silver Springs are invited, but tickets are limited. Table sponsorships are available for $250 which will allow all veterans to attend for free. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Northern Nevada All Veterans Honor Guard, the Dayton Valley VFW Post 8660, and as a thank you to Mr. Heller, we will be making a donation to the northern Nevada Patriot Guard.

If you are a veteran in the Mound House to Silver Springs area, please call the Chamber office for tickets.
