Phelps Hobart, a new volunteer, set up and staffed our display table. Literature was distributed and we were introduced to several individuals who share our concern for returning veterans.
In the days that followed Phelps made office visits with our literature to the California Department of Veterans Affairs, California Department of Employee Development, California National Guard, and offices of the senior consultants for the state's senate and assembly committees for veteran affairs.
August 28th at the California State Fair, he will be distributing our literature and talking to fair-goers. August 28th is a special fair day devoted to "First Responders." The military and veterans are honored with free admission and other benefits and severalveteran groups will have displays and information tables.
