I
am excited to share that we have been hard at work planning our next
Veteran and Community Connections Expo (details below), which is set to
take place on Saturday, Jan. 11th,
at Wells Conference Center, University of Maine at Orono.
Attached is the flyer for the event in Orono on Saturday, January 11, 2024.We would ask that you help us spread the word about this event, and encourage any Veteran, Service Member, or family to attend!
Requests:
- Even if you are not able to attend the event, we are asking for assistance with promoting
the event. Please share in your newsletters, email distributions, social media sites, etc.
- There is a PDF attached and a jpeg for social medial/websites.
Our
shared passion for serving those who have served us is at the heart of
these initiatives, and I believe that together we can make a significant
impact. As we continue to
support our Service Members, Veterans, Survivors, and their families,
it's essential to remember the importance of spreading awareness about
the benefits and services they have rightfully earned. Many individuals
may not fully understand what is available
to them or may lack strong connections within their communities.
I
am excited to share that we will be organizing this event to focus on
bridging this gap. We believe the Veterans and Community Connection Expo
will play a vital role in connecting
our community with valuable information and support services. This
event promises to be a wonderful opportunity for our community to learn
about the incredible Federal, State, and local resources available to
Service Members, Veterans, Survivors, and their
families.
During
these events, participants will have the opportunity to connect with
mental health services, engage with representatives who can assist in
building important community
ties, and learn about safe-storage options aimed at preventing Veteran
suicide.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication to this important cause, and for your continued support.
