NAVARRE — The Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee will host a Military Affairs Picnic. The event, called "Saluting Our Hometown Heroes," will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 13, in Navarre Park.
The picnic will help residents honor those who have served and those now serving. All service members and their families may come for a day of food, music, games and fellowship.
“In the Navarre area, these everyday heroes surround us. They are our neighbors, Little League coaches, co-workers and friends. We make it a point to express our gratitude during the month of May and beyond to those currently serving in the armed forces, our veterans and their families," Michele Tucker, chair of the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee, said.
The committee is a group of roughly 40 Navarre chamber members who support the military mission and enhance the relationship between the community and the military.
It seeks sponsorships, volunteers and donations for this event as it feeds, entertains and shows appreciation for military members and their families. Call Tucker at 582-1707 for information.
