An RSVP mistake means we need some members to sign up again for Thursday’s Patriot Dinner Gathering. Plus, as summer winds down, we’re looking ahead to a winter filled with more opportunities to stay connected through small group dinners, sporting events, movies, game nights, lunches, and stronger relationships beyond Patriot Pour.
Patriot Dinner Gatherings are growing, and we’re making changes to keep connection at the center. Dinners will now be limited to 40 attendees, with RSVPs required 24 hours in advance. Learn why we’re making the change, how to RSVP, and how smaller, chapter-based dinners may become part of The Veterans Club’s future.
Connection doesn’t always require a big program. Sometimes it’s dinner with friends or an afternoon at the movies. This week, I’m reminding everyone to RSVP for our August 27th Patriot Dinner Gathering at the Best Western and inviting you to join us August 20th for THE BRINK OF WAR at Hayden Cinema. These simple gatherings are how friendships—and community—grow.
The Veterans Club has three items available free to a veteran or first responder in our community: a flat-screen TV with TV stand, a large upholstered coffee table/ottoman, and a rolling serving cart/wine rack. Items are available first-come, first-served, and recipients must arrange pickup. Email info@theveteransclub.org if interested.
VFW Post 889 in Coeur d’Alene is creating a new Patriots Bar and needs our community’s help.

Help preserve these stories of service and give them a place where others can see and appreciate them.
The Veterans Club continues to grow in ways I never imagined. From packed gatherings and helping families in need to hospital visits, new friendships, community support, and the launch of our endowment, people are noticing what we are accomplishing together. At the heart of it all remains something simple: veterans and first responders showing up for one another.
The OODA Loop has guided military leaders and first responders for decades, but its greatest value may be in everyday life. Learn how the simple process of Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act can help you make better decisions, recognize when someone needs help, avoid danger, and become more aware of the world around you.
Wildfires can bring uncertainty, stress, and isolation—especially for veterans and first responders who have experienced trauma in the line of duty. The Veterans Club is extending an open invitation to those impacted by the Spokane-area fires. Join one of our weekly Patriot Pour gatherings, connect with people who understand, and discover a community ready to stand beside you.
What began as a curious climb inside a retired B-25 Mitchell bomber became an unexpected encounter with history. Hidden inside the aircraft were handwritten messages left by World War II veterans, preserving names, memories, and service that might otherwise have been forgotten. Sometimes the greatest artifacts aren’t on display—they’re quietly waiting to be discovered.
Good morning, As I sat down to write this week’s message, I couldn’t help but smile. The past couple of weeks have been a wonderful reminder of what makes The Veterans Club so special. Time and again, our members and supporters show up for one another in ways that continue to inspire me. Our 2nd…
