EXCITING FRESH NEW
Plans, Projects, Programs
Are added to our existing framework!
Logo debut: we now have a distinctive signature that symbolizes the mission and vision of Veteran’s Heart Georgia. Work is gong on currently to integrate the new logo into all the ways we present ourselves to the world.
New and exciting way of working! Until recently, VHG has functioned as a small group that met weekly with everyone contributing to the development and implementation of all our activities. We have now implemented several working committees.
Here are expanded descriptions of the committees:
Fundraising
Healers network/speakers bureau
Monthly Movies
Outreach/Communications
Retreat
Vet Advocacy/Legal issues
Volunteer coordination
Voices Project
Our next event is a Just Listen gathering 1:30 on Sunday, January 25, at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany.
The February Movie Matinee will be Soldiers Heart. Several of us were able to view the movie and meet the producer/director/writer this summer at a Soldiers Heart training retreat. We feel this will be another powerful experience for the VHG community.
VHG Inaugural Dinner, February 28. Hold the date!!!
Details coming soon.
*****
The following is a poem found in the book Voices of Vets that expresses the feelings of one Vet who attended a retreat for Veterans and families held in Oregon last Spring:
MAGGOTS AND GOLD
Create a village as strong as a war
To pick the maggots off my skin
And burnish the gold that lies within
This will renew the strength of my sacred core.
Can we create a village as strong as a war?
–JACK McLEAN, USMC, VIETNAM VETERAN
(USED WITH PERMISSION OF THE POET)
SEE YOU JANUARY 25TH!
