A Karnes couple donated a former Campbellton school to American GI Forum. The non-profit veteran organization is set to repurpose the building into a veteran retreat.
– Susie and Sam Kotara have been trying to find a way to repurpose an old Campbellton school without much success. They were determined to make sure a good property wouldn’t be wasted by the lack of an interested buyer.So the couple set out to find an organization in need that could quickly put the building to use.
Sergio Dickerson, GI Forum president and CEO, says the possibilities for the property of about three acres are endless for their organization.“Our desire is to provide a retreat location for veterans to come and improve their condition, give them a home for the future,” he said. “If I provide the property free of charge to them, they provide the services and I get the biggest bang for my buck and the vets, the most important people, get all those services for free,” he said of their ability to help more veterans.
