ANNOUNCEMENTS!

"Adopt a Vet Family" The last few years the Brain Injury Association has had success with matching up Veteran or Military Service Member families in need of assistance with groups or individuals looking to adopt them for the holidays. The Veteran/Service Member must be willing to provide their contact info, address, names, ages, sexes, and sizes for clothing, etc. and a brief paragraph or two about them and their situation. Please provide their names and information to Rick as soon as possible via email or at 810-229-5880.
