Phil Delgado is Quartermaster of VFW Joseph J. Clinton Post 399.
In just a few years, he’s revitalized the 100-plus-year-old organization. Once a little-noticed club — despite its location at one of Westport’s most well-trafficked intersections — the VFW is now a major part of our civic life.
The VFW hosts world-class jazz, every Thursday, and folk music once a month. It’s the go-to spot for (inexpensive) celebrations like reunions and bridal showers, and meetings for groups like Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Service and the League of Women Voters. Every month, there’s a Red Cross blood drive.
There’s a full bar and meal service — plus of course the usual VFW services for veterans, from the Korean War to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The other day on the Westport Library stage, Phil talked about all those activities, and his unlikely path to leading them. Click below for our very intriguing conversation.
Join us for a cool evening of hot jazz at Westport’s own Jazz Inferno! Melissa is a natural talent, and really makes every song she sings her very own. With a band like this, the evening is sure to be way over the top.
Melissa Newman had a lucrative career singing jingles for companies like AT&T and Chevrolet. Locally she has performed at the Blue Lemon, Tengda, and Harvest in Westport with guitarist Tony Lombardozzi and bassist Phil Bowler. Melissa also makes, shows and sells ceramic and porcelain sculpture. Melissa was a featured artist in the recent major exhibit, “Layers Revealed” at The Norwalk Art Space. She lives in Westport with her husband and two sons.
Sets at 7:30pm and 8:45pm $15 cover.
