Veterans Day celebration planned

The Marietta Community House, 264 W. Market St., Marietta, will hold a special event to honor all veterans in celebration of Veterans Day. The community is invited to attend the event on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 2 p.m. in the Community House Studio.

Members of the Marietta Legion Post 466 will join the Community House in recognizing all local heroes, including Lt. Benjamin Hiestand, in whose honor the Community House was formed. Hiestand died while serving during World War I.

The event will include a brief ceremony, featuring state Rep. Tom Jones as the keynote speaker and remarks from local officials and members of the Marietta Legion Post 466. Post 466 has completed a project to honor hometown heroes with banners throughout the town. More than 150 banners have been donated to honor local veterans.

Additionally, the event will feature a dedication of additional bricks to the Community House's Buy-A-Brick program. This project honors and remembers local individuals and businesses. A reading of the inscriptions will be presented as well as comments from the donors. Money received from this project has been used to repair and maintain the Marietta Community House for use by the local community.

There is no fee to attend. Refreshments will be provided.

For more information, contact Marietta Community House secretary Nancy Kulman at 717-572-1117 or 717-426-1229.
