Soldiers celebrate at Batavia VFW with holiday party

BATAVIA – For Joanna Ziolkowski, throwing a holiday party at the Batavia Veterans of Foreign Wars for soldiers and their families Sunday was a privilege.

As the leader of Family Readiness Group, a volunteer organization that supports troops and their families, she said the annual party is a fun way to interact with other families who are going through similar experiences.

“We’re all privileged to do what we do,” she said. “We do this because we love it and we like to support our soldiers.”
