• URGENT Community Call to Action for veterans of foreign wars: Turn out for VFW meeting at 10 a.m. to help save our local Post 9791 (VFW Hall (612 Canada Trail, Frazier Park). The VFW has been a dynamic force for community-building in these mountain villages, raising college scholarship funds for local students, helping fellow veterans in times of need, and coordinating local Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies. The passing of several staunch supporters of these invaluable programs has dealt a crippling blow to the local VFW post. It is poised to close, and this is expected to be their final meeting… unless there is unexpected turnout—a new generation of veterans of foreign wars, to carry the torch forward?
• Frazier Mountain High School’s FFA craft fair and baked goods sale is 10 a.m.–2 p.m. inside the FMHS gymnasium (700 Falcon Way, Lebec). Vendor spaces are $25 each; student spaces are free. Interested vendors should contact Lee Bizzini through Facebook.
