Living Word Family Church honored veterans with a dinner Wednesday evening. Veterans throughout Lake Havasu City had an open invitation to the dinner where they were also given homemade cards from school children thanking them for their service.

Living Word also donated $3,000 to the Marine Corps League. A portion of that money will be used for Christmas gifts for children in need in Lake Havasu during the holiday season, along with a donation to the Marine Corps Ladies Auxillary.
