UNION TWP. (Fox 19) — Plans are underway for the “Let us never forget” scholarship fundraiser.
It raises money for scholarships in honor of tri-state military killed in action. Students from high schools around the tri-state benefit from the fund.
The dinner is April 9 at Oasis Conference Center in Loveland. It includes a silent auction and dancing.
Event organizer, June Izzi-Bailey, said all the work is worth it to honor the families by helping others further their education.
“We put on these events because we feel fallen heroes are never to be forgotten and this is a way we can show parents that and parents join us to remember their loved ones,” Izzi-Bailey said.
Some of the auction items include a fiddle signed by Charlie Daniels, dinner for two every week for a year and a shopping spree.
Tickets are $50 per person. You must RSVP by March 20.

Nearly 2,000 people packed a Florence church Tuesday to pay their respects to Anthony Campbell.
Campbell was a Cincinnati police officer who was killed in Afghanistan on Dec. 15.
Campbell was remembered as a dedicated officer, a servant to his country, and above all else, a husband and father to his three children.
Campbell was a bomb technician. He died while he was escorting his unit safely around an improvised explosive device. The roadside bomb went off, killing the Air Force Reservist.
During Tuesday’s memorial service, Campbell was honored with the bronze medal of valor.
“By his heroic actions and unselfish dedication to duty in the service of his country, Sgt. Campbell has reflected great credit on himself and the United State Air Force,” said Brig. Gen. Robert Bailey.
Campbell was also recognized for his service to the Cincinnati Police Department. He was on the force only two weeks before he was deployed to Afghanistan.
Anthony will be honored on April 9th with a Let Us Never Forget Scholarship.See events for details.
Thanksgiving Message from Staff SGT Mark Anthony Wojciechowski
We lost( Tony Wojo) April 30th,2009. He leaves a very strong and loving message,in his memories to his mother Teresa Dillinger, she wants to share with the world.
Thanksgiving often passes to some as another holiday; a day of food, family, and football, with little more than just tradition and routine setting the tone. To some, it reminds them of the “American heritage”, the whole ; the pilgrims came- made peace with the Indians- shared a harvest together- and we still celebrate that today. Thanksgiving is also to most, a time to give thanks to the Lord, from which all things are made possible, and whom without, there would be nothing to be thankful or unthankful for.
Perhaps it is now that I am growing older and have a new found respect for simpler and less tangible things, or the fact that I am unable to be where I would like to be sometimes, but this is how I can describe what Thanksgiving means to me.
Obviously, Thanksgiving means being thankful for the things you have, but what does that include? I am thankful for being blessed with a wonderful family. A family that supports me in every way and is always there for me, even though I try not to need them as much as I probably should. I am thankful for health and well- being, not only my own, but the health and well- being of those around me which I love.
I am thankful for the society we live in and the comforts we take for granted each and every day. Although many will think our system is far from perfect, at least we can rest our heads each night without even so much as a remote worry of bombs being dropped, bullets being shot, or poverty in our future.
Of all of the things I am thankful for, none of them would be as rich as they are without giving proper thanks to all of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, in wars past and present, to give me the liberty and freedom in which I am thankful for today. Even though I am serving in the military and will be spending this holiday away from my home and my family; I am thankful for all of my brethren, the troops that are currently serving in harms way. Not only are they away from their families, but they won’t even have the pleasure of safety or rest this holiday weekend.
I hope you have a happy and safe holiday. After all, I think being together is one of the smaller things people overlook. It doesn’t mean as much until you can’t have it. As for me, my holiday will be just fine. I will be surrounded by a great group of guys which I have come to love as brothers. I will talk to you all soon. I love you,
Tony
What a wonderful young Marine, we can all be proud to learn a little more about what a great man he was. Happy Thanksgiving to all, Teresa hopes this will touch your heart; it did mine. Thank you Teresa for sharing your son .
