Hi, Team,
Yesterday’s Legal Clinic at American Legion Sauls Bridges Post 13 hosted 16 Veterans and family walking in, (plus 2 other calls) several Veterans volunteered with set up, intakes, etc. even though their court-ordered community service requirements have already been completed ( Shane, Charles, Khalid, Gregory). In all, our Legal Clinic Team totaled 18, including 6 pro bono attorneys.
The Commanders Coalition met again with nearly 50 participants Wednesday, including a majority of TVLC Board members; a subsequent vote of the entire board resulted in TVLC officially joining the new national Commanders Coalition entity. Congratulations to Ed Hood, our initial and founding National Commander.
The next Leon County Veterans Treatment Court session is Monday, October 6, 3 pm in the downtown Courthouse, Courtroom 2E. Please consider coming to observe/ maybe becoming a Veteran Mentor for the Vets working their way through the program and recovery. Several Veterans are finalizing plans to graduate November 17.
TVLC also added a comprehensive legal research tool recently for our VA-accredited attorneys in order to more thoroughly assist in questions about VA benefits.
