Happy New Year 2016

The next meeting of CVO will be held from 10 AM to 12:30 PM on Saturday, January 16th in the Conference Room at Jesse Brown VA Hospital.

A meeting of the CVO Veterans Affairs Committee will take place immediately following the CVO meeting. Any CVO member who wishes to join this committee may do so by attending this meeting. The main topic will be to come up with an idea (and, of course, get the ball rolling) as to what we should do to call attention to us and our issues. Marches, rallies, etc. are all possibilities. We will brainstorm.

As usual, coffee and donuts will be served.

These meetings will help guide CVO in 2016, so be sure to come out and support CVO!

PLEASE NOTE:  CVO Meetings will be held the 3rd Saturday of each month (same time and location) – unless otherwise specified.  Thank you!
