Triple-hops Brewed

ADVERTISEMENTS
Dar, as I’m sure everyone he meets undoubt-
edly does. He told us stories of how he used to
coach the Haarlem girls softball team. No, not
in New York; Haarlem in the Netherlands! He
spent several years coaching them and told us
stories of how different their perceptions and
points of view are from our own. Dar recalls
a moment when the team was getting ready
for a game. He turned around to find all the
girls in their underwear in broad daylight! You
would be hard-pressed to find that scene in any
American dugout.
Someone commented on how they love
all Dar’s stories. With a solid confidence about
his experiences Dar replied, “I have never
told you a story. Everything is the truth.” I
took that as a statement from a man who has
certainly learned from his travels.
Dar may be a name that is synonymous
with the VFW, but everyone inside has his
or her own story to tell. Why not share some
stories over a game of Bingo and a brew?
I met a fun gal named Mel Lichty that
night as well. Mel’s smile and easy-going
attitude made my night even more enjoyable.
Already knowing the answer, I asked Mel what
the best part about Bingo nights are for her.
“The cheap drinks and a chance to win
some money,” said Lichty with an obvious
assertion.
Above all, the VFW holds the community
as priority number one. All the paper that is
used during the games is thrown into large
disposal bins and recycled. All the can tabs
go toward the Ronald McDonald House as
well. That means you can do your part for your
3
community by coming down and having a
$
brew. Why wait? Power to the Community and
