Veterans Oasis To Open At Housatonic Community College
Safe, Social Environment for Student Veterans
Grand Opening October 13, 2010, 11:30 a.m.
BRIDGEPORT -
Housatonic Community College October 13 will formally open a new veterans
center for HCC student veterans. The event will be held at 11.30 a.m. in
Room B-102 in Lafayette Hall at the college. "We have created
a 'safe environment' where
our veterans may socialize, share their war experiences, their current
struggles, and plan their futures to help ease their reentry into community
civilian life" said Jaclyn Rothenberg, Housatonic Veterans
OASIS Co- Chair. Both past and recent Veterans are welcome."
The furnishing of the HCC Veterans room resulted from the collaborative
efforts of the General Federation of Women's Clubs/CT ( GFWC/CT),
including Fairfield, Milford, Stratford, and Trumbull Women's
clubs. Speakers at the event will include HCC President Anita Gliniecki,
GFWC/CT State President JoAnn Calnen, and HCC Veterans Affairs Officer
Ernest Johnson.
