"Veterans Administration"

On November 11 we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in support of freedom. If you are a veteran, the family member of a veteran, or a care giver for a veteran where do you go to get answers to your veteran related questions? The Veterans Administration.

Keep up with VA activities by subscribing to the VA newsletter.

Respectfully,

Lee Schearer


Support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
