September 26, 2018 - Panola College will host the 6th Annual Veterans Day Dinner at 6:30pm in the Frances B. Ross Ballroom at Panola College on November 8.
This event is coordinated by two service organizations at Panola College: the Green Jackets, who serve the College and community as goodwill ambassadors, and the Student Government Association (SGA). The Green Jackets and SGA, along with area individuals, organizations and businesses are sponsoring the event.
The event is free for any East Texas service member and one guest and will feature dinner, music, a guest speaker, and recognition of the oldest and youngest veterans in attendance.
Individuals who wish to recognize a particular veteran, in honor or memorial, may donate $35 for a Flag of Honor by visiting https://form.jotform.com/PanolaMain/flag-of-honor. The 3x5-foot flag will be mounted on a 6 ft. pole and placed along Bird Drive and W. Panola Street from November 1 – 15. The flags will have signs attached with the veteran’s name, branch of service and personal message from the donor.
The Green Jackets and SGA invite additional sponsors to help honor our service men and women with one of following sponsorship options: Hero Sponsorship - $1,500; Red Sponsorship - $1,000; White Sponsorship - $500; or Blue Sponsorship - $250. Signs and banners will recognize these sponsors and their names will be printed in the dinner program.
