The Second Annual Veterans Resource Day- Connecting One Dot at a Time” will follow the program. Resource tables and vendors will be available for veterans and their families. Veteran’s Resource Day was started by the city’s Community Development Department in 2017 as a way to connect local veterans with agencies that offer them support.
