I would like to answer a letter placed in the Bristol Phoenix on July 9 by Lisa Peterson (Who are these ‘Citizens’? Bristol voters deserve answers).
We rent the VFW building to a wide variety of organizations, including political groups.
The VFW also provides the hall for selected civic organizations, without charge, for the benefit of our community. The property is available to rent by anyone.
We are not a rich Post, and rents help us greatly.
The Bristol County Concerned Citizens have rented our facility on three occasions.
To threaten the Post with an investigation by the Attorney General and Board of Elections is an insult to all veterans.
While I am a member of the BCCC myself, it is its own entity and has no affiliation to the Bristol VFW Post 237, except to rent said premises.
Armand M. Pereira
Command Sgt. Major (ret.)
Bristol
Mr. Pereira is quartermaster of Bristol VFW Post 237.
