Area veterans invited to upcoming event

The Charles City Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting all local veterans (young and old alike) to a special “conversation” meeting on Nov. 18, from 6:15-7:15 p.m. at the Zastrow River Room in the Charles City Public Library. The goal is to gather input and ideas on how to improve Charles City’s veterans’ organizations and offerings. There will also be information available on the various veterans entities in town. There is no cost or commitment to attend, and refreshments will be available.
