Admission: Free
All are invited to a Vets Town Hall at Catamount Arts in Saint Johnsbury, on Sunday, November 10th at 1pm. Veterans are invited to speak about what their service means to them. Non-veterans are encouraged to attend and listen. This event is non-political, and all perspectives are valued. There will be no debate on American foreign policy. Hosted and emceed by Marty McMahon. Snacks will be provided.
Each veteran will be given up to 10 minutes to speak. (This time may vary somewhat depending on how many interested speakers we have.) Veterans who would like to speak can RSVP HERE: https://www.vtvetstownhall.org/event/vets-town-hall-stjohnsbury-2024/ or contact vermont@vetstownhall.org. If you're considering speaking but prefer not to register, we encourage you to attend. After pre-registered speakers go, the host will take speakers from the floor, time permitting. The goal is for every veteran who would like to speak to have a chance to do so.
For speakers: Tell us what your service means to you. Please tell us about your own experiences, whatever they may be, rather than speaking broadly about an issue or organization. You're a member of our community, and it's your stories, reflections, and insights that we're anxious to hear.
Of course, veterans (and all community members) are also welcome to simply attend and listen.
For more information and to sign up to tell your story, visit the Vets Town Hall website: https://www.vtvetstownhall.org/event/vets-town-hall-stjohnsbury-2024/
Accessibility: An accessibility ramp is located at the front of the building; to the right of the front entrance there's a ramp to the lower level where the town hall will take place. Accessible parking will be reserved on the street (Eastern Avenue) by the ramp.
