Honoring Those Who Serve - Whidbey Veterans Resource Center

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts PO Box 52 | 565 Camano Avenue Langley, WA 98260 (map)

Honoring Those Who Serve

Join us for wine tasting, good eats, and a silent auction, and the fusion guitar stylings of Andre Feriante as we honor those who serve. Our Veterans, Our Neighbors, Our Families — Heroes in Our Neighborhood.

Many of us interact and connect with veterans every day, but we might not realize it. Stop by for an hour or stay the day celebrating those who protect our freedom and raise money for services that assist thousands of veterans in our community toward coming all the way home.

If you cannot attend this event, consider donating at www.WhidbeyVRC.org.

By supporting the WVRC, we are able to continue providing free transportation to off-island VA clinics, local counseling, benefits assistance, and a safe place for veterans to get the support they need on their journey to coming all the way home

TICKETS

*$35 each or $60 for two

* Each ticket purchase includes a glass of wine, $5 towards food, the fusion guitar stylings of Andre Feriante and special viewing of the premier of our 10 minute Thriving Communities film.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
