Benefits Concert, Erlangen

Post 3885, Erlangen

On May 14th VFW Post 3885 Erlangen hosted a benefits concert to raise money for our Post. We had 3 music bands play a total of 4 hours. Post 3885 reclaimed its All-American status this year by going over 100% in membership and leading the way in non-profit events. We do 2 benefits concerts a year and this year we’re planning a "Warrior Retreat Weekend" in Hamry, Czech Republic for our members to get away and sit by the campfire and tell ghost stories. We feel its going to be something we can build on in the future.

Pic 1: The first band was „Gentle Vibes“, a local acoustic TRIO, played their debut public showing the first hour. Pic 2: The second band was a Country-n-Western TRIO, „Boots N Pickups“. Pic 3: The third band was our very own Jimmy Ellis (Post Quartermaster) „Jimmy and the Comrades“. The last part we had an open stage hour where whoever wanted to play could jump up on the stage and give it a go. Pic 4-5: Outside, before and during the show, we also had a US Car Club show up and present around 10 cars from old-timers to the modern day muscle car.
