Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans is a not-for-profit transitional living facility that provides assistance to U.S. veterans of any era for the opportunity to return to useful and productive lives by providing them with the skills for independent living. For more information see helpaveteran.org.
While this is a non-partisan organization, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that Desert Shield/Desert Storm Marine veteran Dirk Enger has been a major organizing force behind it.
Monday, August 14 Tamy Duckworth and Liz Chaplin Coffee
at Carol Davis’ home, 601 S. Summit Ave, Villa Park
Carol wants to see you there (she told me) - and it’s a great chance to talk with our next 6th District Congressman and District 2 County Board member.
RSVP to Carol at cdavis3183@sbcglobal.net or Nicole 630.629.0480
Enjoy the weekend!
