When I was 10, I had a paper route and spent my days playing my Atari.  Clare, on the other hand, spends her days doing great things for the community.

When Clare Szalkowski called me last week to ask if she could stop by, she was excited to tell me about her event this weekend.

Sunday (7/5), Clare Cares is holding a Veteran's Freedom Swim at Sutton Pool, at 1900 Hawthorne Street in Dubuque.

It's pretty simple.  Bring your whole family and have some fun.  It's $5 per person and all proceeds will go straight to the Veteran's Freedom Center on Kerper.

The party is from 7 to 9pm, but you can come early!  Jim said he's bringing the Freedom Center's classic jeep from World War 2, so the kids can jump up for a look and take some pictures.

Clare also mentioned raffles and the sales of her delicious cookies, so she can raise some extra money for our vets!

If you want to learn more or keep up with all of Clare's adventures, here's a link to her FACEBOOK PAGE.

Nice work, Clare.

God bless all our vets this weekend!
