DALLAS – Rep. Mike Cabell (R-Luzerne), along with Sen. Lisa Baker (R-20) and Rep. Aaron Kaufer (R-Luzerne), today announced they are once again co-hosting a Veterans Recognition Ceremony and Expo on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Misericordia University.
“The event we hosted last November was well attended, and we expect this year’s turnout to be similar,” said the lawmakers. “This is our small way to recognize the service and sacrifice of our local veterans. The event also offers an opportunity to learn about the various programs and services available to them in our area.”
The day will begin at 10 a.m. with a special Veterans Recognition Ceremony in the university’s Lemmond Theater. Afterward, veterans can stop by Insalaco Hall, where dozens of vendors will be assembled until 1 p.m. Light refreshments will be offered as part of the event.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Mobile Veterans Center will be available in the theater’s parking lot to provide counseling services. Expo attendees can also safely dispose of any expired or unused medications at the Drug Drop Box sponsored by the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office.
The events are open to all veterans residing in Luzerne County, both non-combat veterans and those who served during wartime. Veterans can bring their spouse or one guest.
Registration is required. To RSVP, please contact Cabell’s office at 570-675-6000 or Kaufer’s office at 570-283-1001. The deadline to register is Friday, Oct. 25.
