In December of ’08, American Legion and VFW Posts 8, 313, 341, and 680 jointly launched a trial “Christmas Program” to distribute signed copies of Beaches to four V.A. Hospitals and Convalescent Centers in Lexington, Ky. It was so effective, it's time for another.
The gracious reception from hospital staff, as well as interned and homeless Veterans was an terrific and often emotional success… far more than anticipated as confirmed by a letter from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, Ky:
“there are no amount of words to thank you…
the autographed books were an amazing gift to us all”
In honor of Vincent Zecca, the WWII veteran to whom Beaches of Belmont is dedicated, I have agreed to waive all profit and royalties to enable Posts, companies, and personal donors to sponsor case-lots at actual cost... a 50% discount to value for a gift-quality, leatherette 1st Edition while they last. Why not help a vet and support us?
We don’t need Christmas to honor our Veterans... young or old
Join us with at least a ¼ case... a unique and perpetual gift that will be genuinely cherished by our Veterans; to entertain and help offset days of loneliness, boredom, or depression long after the cake and cookies are gone. It's the least we can do for them.
Only600 528 First Edition Copies Remain
Each ¼ Case (6 copies) = $75
Full Case lots (24 copies) = $300
We can ship to a Sponsor's preferred Post, Org., or Hospital
