November is just a few short weeks away, and the Granville County Veterans Affairs Committee is gearing up to celebrate Veterans and Military Families Appreciation Month with an event on Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center.
The committee is hosting a Veterans Health and Resource Fair, open to all area veterans.
The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and there will be a variety of exhibitors on hand to provide information about all types of services of interest to veterans, from educational opportunities and financial services to employment, housing and social services.
Representatives from the Veterans Administration will be there to answer questions about claims, benefits and other services. Additionally, Walgreens will be offering free flu vaccines to all attendees. Refreshments will be available, too, along with door prizes.
The Committee is looking forward to welcoming all the veterans in our area to take advantage of this event. Also, if you’re an agency or organization who has resources available for these veterans and you haven’t been contacted by one of our committee members, please contact Lyn Breisacher at 919.693.8947 or Anne Williams at 919.892.5471.
