Roseville VFW Post 7555 holding annual fall fundraiser Sunday.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 7555 in Roseville will hold its 57th annual booya feed starting at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 23. And post members will serve the stew through 3 p.m. or until it is all gone, said club manager Marianne Gordon. You can either dine in or get booya for takeout, she said. Gordon said the annual fundraiser supports, among other things, youth programs and other charitable endeavors, and it attracts between 200 to 300 people. "The money is disbursed back into the community," she said. Last year, the Roseville VFW Post made 150 gallons of booya, according to Jim Hartman.

Super Sunday weather aids Booya event.
The Roseville Fire Department Auxiliary held its Booya fundraiser Sunday at VFW Post 7555. The auxiliary's goal is to serve current and retired fire fighters when they are injured or ill, die, or to celebrate the birth of a child. The group takes donations so it can assist fire fighters and their familkies with medical costs, funeral costs, or baby gifts. The Fire Angels organization, which is comprised of female fire fighters and spouses of male fire fighters, held a games fundraiser in conjunction with the Booya. The Fire Angels give back to the community in many ways, including giving gifts to children during the holidays. The Minnesota Fire Service Memorial Pipe Band also played at this event.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 7555 in Roseville on Sunday held their 56th annual Booya. Members, families and residents filed in and out of the yard behind the VFW hall, waiting patiently to have their containers filled with the rich smelling stew. The VFW’s area has a building with a kitchen in it just big enough to house the three 50 gallon vats that cook their Booya. “We made 150 gallons this year,” said Post Chief Commander Jim Hartman. “We started on Friday, heating the water, and jumped in with both feet last night. There were at least two to three guys here all through [Saturday] night.” Gary Siler, a Shoreview resident and Post 7555 member, was working the ticket line, and has for many years. He said booya proceeds go to…
