August VCSU Meeting
Hi everyone, Our next veterans coalition meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19 at 1 p.m. at the SOUTHERN UTAH VETERANS HOME. Please do not go to Utah Tech this time. All you will see there are bewildered new students trying to get their bearings. 🙂
This is a special meeting, and not just because of the location. We will spend the lion's share of the meeting talking about our various Veterans Day events and what we can do to support each other. I anticipate this meeting lasting 90 minutes to 2 hours, so heads up.
I know that there are three main Veterans Day events, which include:
• Veterans Day Parade and program in Washington City
• Veterans Day event at SunRiver
• Veterans Day event at Utah Tech.
We will want to discuss what these events will include and what needs may be present.
We will also have our regular meeting items as well, so PLEASE send me your agenda items by the end of the day Monday. I look forward to seeing you Tuesday, August 19!
