Letter: Hicksville VFW Thanks Community

On behalf of the officers and members of the Hicksville Veterans of Foreign Wars, William M. Gouse Jr. Post 3211, I would like to thank the Hicksville community members, businesses, organizations and local elected officials who supported us by attending our 77th Anniversary Dinner Dance and/or sponsoring an ad in our 77th Anniversary Journal. Without your support, we would not be able to continue the programs we have in support of our veterans. We will continue to work closely with the Hicksville community and our elected officials to ensure that all our veterans needs are addressed.

The officers and members of the William M. Gouse Jr. Post 3211 pride themselves in the preservation of the values and principles of our country and the Hicksville community. We have and will continue to maintain the traditions of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States in the service of our veterans, their families and their community.
William G. Walden
Commander, Hicksville Veterans of
Foreign Wars

With drinks flowing in a room filled with the laughter and praises of family, friends and art patrons, local artist and Hicksville native, Evan Campanella, proudly displayed his artwork at opening night of his own show at the BJ Spoke Gallery in Huntington.

After being sponsored by a member of the gallery for a member’s choice showing, one of his works helped to turn the limelight on him. Now a member of the gallery himself, his paintings have taken over the entire front room of BJ Spoke for the next month.  

Hicksville alumni are hosting a special reunion to raise money for local Hicksville charities celebrating their past. The Hicksville Rock n’ Return Reunion will be a special event where anyone who went to school in Hicksville can both celebrate their shared past while leaving their legacy for the future.

“The goal of the reunion is to not only have an evening of fun and memories but to pay it forward to the wonderful town we were lucky to grow up in.”, says Ray Gamble, a member of the organizing committee. “After covering the costs of our reunion, we will contribute all excess proceeds to three organizations that are an integral part of Hicksville’s history and continue to protect, serve and preserve the spirit of Hicksville; the Hicksville Fire Department, the Boys and Girls Club and the Gregory Museum.”
