The Veterans Crisis Line is staffed by caring, qualified crisis responders who are there to help. Many of these responders are veterans themselves.

President’s Message - March 2023
At our March meeting, we will be taking nominations for our various elected positions. The actual election will take place at our annual meeting. This year our annual meeting will be on our regular meeting night in April and will run concurrently with our normal monthly meeting. I will call the annual meeting to order at 1800 on April 9th and our regular monthly meeting at 1900 as usual. Voting will be open until 2000.
March 29th is Vietnam Veterans Day. As we have done for the last couple of years, we will meet at the Memorial in Ypsilanti Township at 1100 for coffee and doughnuts and informal chit-chat. There is no “plan B” so if the weather is too bad we may wind up sitting in our cars trying to eat up all of Fredo’s doughnuts.
Update: This year the event will be held in the lobby of the VA Hospital. Click here for details.
We have established some dates that you may want to mark on your calendar.
- The Recognition Dinner will be on Saturday, May 13th. Tickets will again be $15 (a bargain).
- The Pig roast this year will be on Saturday, August 26th at the Saline American Legion.
- The Clinton Fall Festival will run from Friday, September 22nd through Sunday the 24th. We always need a lot of help with this and it is always fun.
I’ll see you at our next meeting. In the meantime….
Stay safe and
Stay Proud.
Stan Harrison
President
