Cathedral City will host its 19th annual Memorial Day luncheon later this month to honor veterans and recognize members of the local community.
The event will take place from noon to 2 p.m. on May 26 at Cimarron Golf Resort, at 67603 30th Avenue, city officials said.
Scheduled speakers include Cathedral City Councilmember Rita Lamb and Xochita Murillo, deputy secretary for minority veterans for the California Department of Veterans Affairs.
The program will also feature musical performances and community awards.
Among the honorees are four Cathedral City residents and Holocaust survivors — Goldie Jacoby, Ruth Linderman, Susan Juhasz and Rickie Taras — who will share their personal stories during the event.
The luncheon is sponsored by American Veterans Post 66 and the Jon Castro Chapter 19 of Veterans For Peace.
Reservations and tickets are available by contacting American Veterans Post 66 founder Tom Swann Hernandez at 760-324-5670.
