Ahead of Thanksgiving, Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton Joins Veterans and Community Leaders to Renew Push to Rebuild VFW Post 347

WHAT - Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton will visit Glen Cove Bagel Café on Monday, Nov. 22 to announce new and expanded fundraising efforts in support of rebuilding Glen Cove’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 347.
