New Title!

I am moving all of the blog posts from the old blog / this one ... to a new title.  The new title is shorter and speaks to all of the needs of the women enrolled in our program.

New Blog ... just click it.

Vet Centers

We have a local Vet Center.  The address is: 1505 NE 122nd Avenue; Portland, Oregon  97230.  Their phone number is: 503.688.5361.

The services are both formal and informal in that they have closed group and they have activities for veterans and the veterans families.

VFW Lady wrote a blog post about finding Vet Centers within the nation.  Apparently, there are at least 300 of them.  You can read her post here.
