The city of Kissimmee announces the opportunity to gather and honor those who have served our country, both past and present. Dinner With a Veteran on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 5-7 p.m. at the Chambers Park Community Center will feature a complimentary dinner and a time to relax, connect, and reflect on the contributions of our service members. Whether you bring a veteran you know or simply want to meet those who have served, everyone is welcome to participate. This event is designed to foster community spirit and appreciation. It’s a chance to listen to stories, share gratitude, and strengthen the bonds that make our community special. We also encourage attendees to bring friends and family.
In addition to dinner, there will be opportunities for networking and engaging with fellow community members through a heartfelt way to say thank you and show support for our veterans.
