On Friday, November 11 (Veterans Day) and Monday, November 14 the Rivers Edge Veterans Association (REVA) held a fundraiser at Wing & Fish (W&F), 4764 Main St. Shallotte. By manning the entrance and passing out flyers listing all of our charities, REVA received 10% of W&F proceeds. For our efforts and with the support of local residents and particularly the residents of Rivers Edge, REVA received a donation of $500. We estimate that Rivers Edge residents spent well over this amount on food and drinks! Once again REVA thanks you for your support!

As a Community Service Project, the Rivers Edge Veterans Association (REVA) is participating in North Carolina’s Adopt-A-Highway program. REVA has adopted the section of Copas Road from Village Road to Mill Pond Road; approximately 1.7 miles. On Tuesday, November 29, twenty (20) REVA members equipped with gloves, trash bags, trash picker-uppers, and safety vests were divided into five (5) teams and participated in our first attempt to collect trash along Copas Road. We were actually very successful. Approximately fifteen (15) bags of trash were collected. This will be a quarterly project for REVA. Our next clean-up will be in late February. So before you toss a cigarette butt, beer can, or Styrofoam cup out your window along Copas Road, remember that your neighbors will be picking it up. 

As always, REVA thanks you for your support!
