				 WWI historian Paul Osman of Williamsville, who last November 
				gave a stirring talk at the dedication of the Veteran’s Park in 
				Elkhart, is the much-anticipated speaker. Osman’s knowledge not 
				only of the war, but also members of the Elkhart community who 
				served in it, will take you back to an era that should not be 
				forgotten. Osman has just returned from his 11th trip to the 
				Western Front in France and Belgium. During this recent trip, he 
				visited the battlefields and graves of several Elkhart WWI 
				soldiers. Come celebrate the memory of those who unselfishly 
				gave to the war effort. 
 The event will take place at Horsefeather’s Wild Hare Café, and 
				the doors will open at 5 pm. Dinner will include a choice of coq 
				au vin or pork tenderloin with wine and mushroom sauce each 
				served with savory rice, vegetables, dessert and beverage.
