Final Roll Call
Ray Bassler
Post Falls Chapter
This week, our hearts are a little heavier. We’ve lost a brother, a friend, and a steady presence at the table. Ray Bassler brought quiet joy to every gathering. Take a moment to visit his memorial and remember the man who stood beside us.

Become a Chapter Facilitator
You already know the power of showing up. At The Veterans Club, Chapter Facilitators are the steady hands that keep our weekly coffee meetings welcoming, respectful, hopeful, and focused on forward motion.
You don’t need to be a therapist or motivational speaker. Your role is simple yet powerful: welcome new faces, guide introductions, keep conversation balanced, and protect the positive culture we’ve built — no politics, no debates, just real camaraderie.
We give you the official Facilitator’s Guide, hands-on training, shadowing, and full national support. This is leadership that feels familiar. Service that doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.
The room is waiting. The mission continues.

This is a reminder of who we are called to be: a place where veterans and first responders are met with patience, understanding, and the kind of connection that can change a life.
