Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation
and
Field Service

"Back to the Basics", in service to our Veterans.

Mission Statement:  The Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Committee (VA&R) initiates, sponsors and participates in programs and services that vocationally assist and enhance the lives of our veterans and their families.  We endeavor, through our efforts, to help ensure those who need assistance can restore and/or transition to a normal functioning life-physically, mentally, socially and vocationally.

Now Hear This...

ZION-HOUSE is a transitional home for Homeless Women Veterans of the United States Military. This is the first of its kind in the United States, and only one in New York State.  The time has come and now our Women Veterans are able to move ahead from homelessness to productiveness.

For additional information:  www.ZION-HOUSE-AVON.org

Please visit this site today, it only takes a moment and make a pledge to make a difference in the life of a homeless women veteran.

You may report any donation under the Past President Parley Committee or the VA&R committee section Homeless Veterans.  Open your hearts and wallets to this innovative program to meet the needs of our women veterans today.  The pledge card is available on the web site ZION-HOUSE.  Every dollar helps.  Let your Unit and County know to report all that they contribute.  Please share this information.  They need responses by April 1st, 2008.
