CRESTVIEW — Sen. Greg Evers will be the featured speaker during a community awareness event for a veterans jobs program.
American Legion Post 75 stated in a media release that the event — which is 2 p.m. July 9 at the post, 898 James Lee Blvd. E. — is open to the community, and local veterans, post traumatic stress syndrome outreach, and support organizations are encouraged to participate.
The program will include information about new jobs and training that will be provided locally.
Local dignitaries will also attend, and refreshments will be available.
In the release, post officials also stated that they hope the post will become a service point for the Career Source mobile unit, since the Crestview Career Source office closed in June. Post Commander John Marshall Sr. is to meet with CS Director Linda Sumblin to work out those details.
For more information on the July 9 event, call 669-9030.
