Monogram Club Chicken Dinners

https://wawmmonogram.org

Post 495 Member Dick Trawicki will be handing out tickets

The Monogram Club gives free Chicken Dinners to Veterans and their families. Supporters make donations to pay for the dinners and the dinners are given away at Post 416 in Glendale. The leftover money goes to scholarships for student athletes at West Allis Central and West Allis Hale. The dinners help with scholarships for the athletes and their families. They gave out 1700 chicken dinners in 2025. The fundraiser is a win, win,  for veterans and a win for the West Allis Athletes.
