The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Joshua Tree is holding a fundraiser for Richard Meyers, also known as “Ricky Racer,” whose Joshua Tree home burned down in a fire last month and whose wife was injured in the blaze. The couple lost everything they own; friends have donated a motor home for them to live in for now. The benefit is set for Saturday, February 22, starting at noon, and the public is invited. Food will be $5 a plate. Live music will be provided by Ramblin’ George and Dick Howes. All proceeds from food and donations will go to the Meyers. The Joshua Tree VFW is located on Veterans Way in downtown Joshua Tree.
