Grinnell Hall Senior Center invites the public to attend a free Veterans Day ceremony at 10 a.m. Thursday, November 11.

Charles Jones, Army Master Sergeant and Eugene Leech, Marine Gunnery Sergeant, will share their background and what the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) means to them. Both are members of the Beloit Chapter 14 (DAV) who meet at Grinnell.

Grinnell Hall has a history in serving Veterans and their families. In April of 1936 Emma H. Grinnell willed funds to build a Memorial Hall for patriotic organizations in loving memory of her husband, William H. Grinnell. William served in the Wisconsin Volunteer infantry during the Civil War. In 1977, the Veteran organizations sold Grinnell Hall to the City of Beloit and the organization leaders and city staff worked together to meet the needs of the Veterans and seniors.

Social distancing will be maintained during the event; please call 608-364-2875 to reserve your seat. Face coverings are required in all city buildings.
