VERO BEACH — The Indian River County Veterans Council will install a new executive board at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 5 at the County Administration Building B Conference room.

County Commissioner Joe Flesher will officiate the event as the current president Eric “Rip” Wieler Lt Col, USMC, Ret will hand over the gavel to Martin Zickert, Col, USAF, Ret after a three year term.
