BRIGHTON — On April 30 the Brighton Chapter of Seminole veterans held their monthly meeting at the Countryside Café.
Wonder Johns opened the meeting with a word of prayer followed by the reading of the minutes by the chapter’s secretary, Lois Smith. The group of veterans has been approved for a piece of land designated to be the site for their Veteran’s center.
There were four sets of design plans presented at the meeting for the members to view and give input on. The group is still waiting on one more set of plans before making the final decision about how the new building will be laid out.
Vice President, Stanlo Johns, said “We want something that looks good.” On Saturday May 15, the members plan to meet at the building site to lay the culvert which will lead the way for the project.
The veterans are also planning a ground breaking ceremony before construction begins which will be announced once a date is set. The Brighton veterans have had a long time desire to start coming together and meeting as a group, but until recently, this had not happened.
They look forward to having meetings with all of the veterans from other reservations and coming up with ideas to assist and meet the needs of all the Seminole men and women who served for their country.
Brighton Veterans Chapter Officers: President–John Wayne Huff Sr., Vice President–Stanlo Johns, Secretary–Lois Smith, Chaplin–Wonder Johns.
