Donkey Dreams Sanctuary

There will be an adventure group next Friday April 21! We will be going to the Donkey Dreams Sanctuary in Scenic, AZ from 10-12 MST.  We will be touring the facility and spending time with their rescue donkeys. The sanctuary is about 15 min from Mesquite and about a 40-minute drive from Saint George. There are only 5 spots for this group. This group is for veteran’s only and is not open to family members due to having limited spots available.

STG PACT Open House


 PACT Act Awareness Open House event set for April 28 at Utah Tech. (Click Here for Flyer)

April VCSU Meeting

Our next Veteran's Coalition meeting is set for 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18 at the American Legion Post 90 building. If you have something you would like to include on the agenda, please let me know by the end of the week.

I don't believe we have a "speaker" lined up, so if you think your agenda item needs more time than the typical one, let me know and you could be our speaker. 


Also, I wanted to remind everyone of the "Women in Military" event at the Washington County Fair. The flyer is attached. It is on April 20 at 10 a.m. The Fair will be honoring women who have served in the military, but EVERYONE is invited to attend — man or woman, military veteran, active duty or a lifelong civilian. Let's all support this neat event. 🦅

Thanks, David

 

Coffee Time at the Vet Center

I’m starting a Coffee Group! Every first and third Tuesday the Vet Center will be open to all Veterans to come in and enjoy each other’s company over coffee. It will be open from 0900-1100. No need for an appointment - just come on in.  For non-coffee drinkers, we have tea, hot chocolate, and whatever you want to bring (besides alcohol) while socializing with other Veterans.

April 2023 Military Events at Fair


Each year the Washington County Fair has a military event. In 2020, WWII veterans were honored. In 2021, Korean War veterans were honored. In 2022, Vietnam War veterans were honored. 

In 2023, the theme is Women in the Military. As always, EVERYONE is invited to attend this event — you don't have to be a female veteran to attend, and we hope many of our VSOs are represented in attendance. However, the Fair would love to have as many female veterans as possible attend. Please see flyer below.

WOMEN IN THE MILITARY 

Each year, more photos are added to the Fair's military wall of honor. If you are a veteran and would like your photo included, or you know of veterans that should be included on the wall, please submit soon through this link: CLICK HERE FOR PHOTO LINK. Please note the deadline of April 5 — this is so they have enough time to print banners.
