Veterans To Be Honored At Dinner

LIBERAL, KS – The third annual Fall Into Health Fair is just around the corner – the event, with the new name of Health, Job and Education Fair, is planned for October 22 at the Seward County Activity Center.

One of the many activities planned for the day is a Veteran’s dinner.

“All veterans can eat free and others are welcome to eat at the dinner for $8 per plate,” said event chairperson and Southwest Medical Center Public Relations Director Nancy Kletecka. “Guests will enjoy a chili dinner which will be prepared by the Liberal After Prom Committee.”

This is the second time the now annual event has included a special invitation for veterans.

“Ed Poley of Whirlwind Career Counseling for Veterans and Emergency Responders came to me one day asking advice about a health fair for veterans,” Kletecka said. “Ed was familiar with our event – at that time called the Fall Into Health Fair – and was impressed with the turnout we had. It didn’t take long before we both knew that a partnership would help us both achieve our goals.”

Organizers behind the health, job and education fair are working to help the community and especially the veterans with all aspects of their health care.

The idea behind a special invitation to veterans at the annual fair is simple: “We want to say thank you for your service, welcome home, and ask what can we do for you,” Poley said.
