VFW Lincoln Park, Michigan
Donation protected
I just got off the telephone with our friend Jim, that runs the VFW
Hall where Deviations, DARK weekend, previously Dark Nirvana, and other
events have been held in the past. According to Jim, the hall is facing
an uncertain future financially and struggle on a monthly basis. They
are doing everything they can to stay afloat. Winter is a very
difficult time for any halls to get bookings.
In the not so distant past, we as a community faced some troubling and trying times in light of the "Master Bob" case. When so many, for good reason, had to retreat for a bit to protect themselves, the VFW stood tall and directly by our side as a community. Not because it was easy or because it was lucrative. They did so because in Jim's words, "we fought in wars so that people would be free to live as they see fit".
If you have any thought at all about coming out to Deviations this month, please do so. If you hadn't thought about coming out, please do, even if it is just for the steak dinner (a fantastic bargain at $10 per person).
We, as a community, often lament how we don't have many people on our side. In this particular case, we've had no better friend than the VFW. If at all possible, please come out and support the venue that has been so incredibly good to us over the past few years.
