Our Prior Lake VFW was once the home of a beautiful Movie theatre. We are BACK! Reopened and now finishing off the Furnishing and Bar Equipment upgrades
It is in this spirit that we are asking friends and supporters of the VFW to kindly consider a Tax-Deductible donation towards sponsoring a specific item which will be recognized with a donor Plaque and honored on our website. Elevator/Lift ($125,000.00),1 of 2 Sofas ($3000.00 ea), Website Upgrade ($2500), 1-4 Lounge Chairs ($1000.00 ea), Barstool ($300 ea), Memorial Brick ($200.00 ea). Or just choose a Sponsor level. 5-Star-Sponsor $50,000, 4-Star-Sponsor $25,000, 3-Star-Sponsor $10,000, 2-Star-Sponsor $5,000, 1-Star-Sponsor $1,000, Warrior-Sponsor $500, Hero-Sponsor $100.
Summarizing the updated status of our amazing project, I offer the following: Phases I and Il completed new handicap ramps, a new Bar, new office and storage spaces, upgrades to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, widened entrance door, and has added a required front staircase entryway to the lower floor per State Fire Code. This vast endeavor required us to plan for and complete many Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ‘Accessible Design’ improvements. We added Phase III which provided more dedicated ADA bar and dining service space, as well as creating a new handicap accessible stage. Furthermore, once our building loan is paid down, we will be pursuing a proposal to transform our lower level into a first-class veteran lounge and conference center. Finally, we will be adding a much-anticipated elevator-lift to make our lower-level ADA compliant.
Sincerely,
Yours in Comradeship,

VFW Post 6208 is not a Just-a-Bar!
It's a Warm Meeting spot in winter for Vets,
It's a cold beer joint and a spot to place your bets...
A Viking Lodge to tell stories about the one that didn't get away.
A boat trailer parking spot while the driver buys PULL-TABs to 'Play'
It's a quiet date night spot for the parents while they dine,
Ladies night out; dressed to the 'nines...
Weddings, Anniversaries or Party for your Birthday,
Cornhole Tourney's, or BINGO nights to Play...
Marine Corps Birthday Ball to drink and fight,
Poker Run rally-point, MEAT-Raffles, Steak Fry Night...
Burger Nights, Gun-Raffles, and Pancake Breakfasts'.
A place to meet your friends just for the Heck of it...
