KALEVA – Members of the Kaleva Art Gallery think of U.S. military veterans every November, and this year they were looking for a way to honor them for their service, according to KAG member Cynthia “Cindy” Asiala.

During November, members of the public may pay tribute to a veteran by visiting the gallery at 14449 Wuoski Ave. and entering a service member’s name in a drawing to win one of two wall hangings created especially for veterans.

“No purchase is required, but there is much to peruse during open hours,” Asiala said of the gallery’s displays of arts and crafts.

One of the wall hangings honors the Marines; the other recognizes all branches of the military. They were created by Sandra “Sandi” VanDonkelaar, who has taught quilting classes at Maple Grove Township Community Center.

Both will be displayed during a Veterans Dinner, 5-7 p.m., Nov. 11 (Veterans Day), at VFW Post #6333, 13300 Nine Mile Road. Veterans dine for free during the event, and all others are asked to donate to help a family in need.

The drawing for the wall hangings will take place Dec. 1, and organizers said they hope to award other prizes as well.

Gallery hours are Friday and Sunday, 12-4 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
