Hello, brothers and sisters, I am sorry that I didn’t write to you in the last issue, or at least provided some updates on what’s going on inside Veterans Club. The most active of our Veterans on campus find their way to the Veteran Lounge throughout the week, and we catch up that way, but I realize that a large population of our Veterans never come to the Lounge. That’s OK,  I promise to continue my efforts in being some kind of voice or friendly guide to all Veterans and Students in general. I will keep working on getting more of our Battle Brothers and Sisters to come by and hang out, introduce themselves. From here on out I will do better for you all, and continue to give SMCC Veterans a voice in the paper, as well as on the Student Senate. If you haven’t read the article “Behind Open Doors” which I co-wrote with our Student President Leah Parrish, I talk about how the SMCC student government was the last thing I thought I’d get involved with, and now I couldn’t imagine not being a part of it.

Upcoming Events :

• Meeting with Allen Blackstone, Nov. 1  at 12:30 p.m. in the Veterans Lounge (Captain’s House)
• Veterans bake sale/fundraiser, Nov. 13  from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Campus Center long tables
