๐ŸŽ‰ Itโ€™s back! Veterans Day at the Milwaukee Zoo. Each year our fabulous Milwaukee County Veterans Service Office facilitates a very enjoyable day at the zoo โ€“ NO COST ($19.75 value each) ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ and includes FREE parking again! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ Although our MKE team offers 10 tickets per Veteran, weโ€™ll ask each Veteran only to request 5, please. This will ensure those in the Fox Cities can enjoy the day. There is no guarantee that we can procure extra tickets at this time.

๐Ÿ“ First-come, first-served at the front desk during business hours. ๐Ÿ“ž Sorry, no telephone holds. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ At least one of the ticket holders needs to verify Veteran status through a DD-214, Veteran Identifier on the WI Driverโ€™s License, a VAHCID, or DoD/DoW ID. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

๐Ÿ” Note: Food, beverages, and additional attractions require additional payment.

About two years ago our office noticed a gap in transportation for our Veterans ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ so our office partnered with the โ€œMake the Ride Happenโ€ of the Luthern Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.

To date, weโ€™ve severed a handful of Veterans, whether getting to local Community Care appointments ๐Ÿฅ or Compensation & Pension Exams out of town (including Menominee, MI and Milwaukee, WI) ๐Ÿ“. Some Veterans simply cannot or do not drive for one reason or another ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿš—. We want to ensure youโ€™re making ALL your appointments, including those very important C&P exams for VA compensation! ๐Ÿ“…๐Ÿ’ผ

This excellent organization is looking specifically for volunteer VAN DRIVERS ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ; they provide the van and training! The vans are used for wheelchair support โ™ฟ and when there may be multiple passengers ๐Ÿ‘ฅ. Itโ€™s also used for the longer trips ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ.

Please see the flyer for how to volunteer ๐Ÿ“„ โ€“ it IS making a positive impact in our Veteransโ€™ lives!

If you find yourself around the Fond du Lac area, PLEASE visit their new Veteran plaza. How incredible! I know the Fond du Lac County Veterans Service Office worked extremely hard to raise the funds and plan this extraordinary tribute.

What can I say except thank you?

Thank you for creating an extraordinary symbol of love, honor, and respect for the men and women who answered the call to serve our country โ€” whether through the draft or by volunteering, each for their own reasons and sacrifices.

What has been built here is deeply humbling. It is an extraordinary space dedicated to ordinary people that served their country. It is a direct reflection of what this community truly says to its veterans: that their service mattered, their sacrifices are remembered, and they will never be forgotten.

To every man and woman who has served, who is serving now, and especially to those who gave their lives in defense of this nation โ€” this place honors you. And for that, on behalf of so many, thank you.โ€

Semper Fidelis to everyone in Fond du Lac County!

We were invited the first-ever CarePatrol panel discussion and mini expo last night at the Mary Beth Nienhaus rooms at the Appleton Public Library - VERY nice facilities!

There were amazing panelists sharing about different services they offer our aging population - from housing solutions to wills & trusts - to connecting to resources. CarePatrol has been in the Fox Cities now for over 11 years - and going strong. They continue to work hard to connect people to resources, again, especially the older population.

We were able to share about the various Veterans benefits - from service connection (especially the PACT Act for our Vietnam Veterans), pensions, and how VA programs like A&A work. It was a great turnout for the first event and April did a phenomenal job organizing it all with the help of her team. We definitely look forward to the next one!

If you have an aging parent/aunt/uncle/brother who is a Veteran, PLEASE START EARLY. We've had many families recently filing for their parent expecting the VA to help immediately. Unfortunately, it can take up to 12 months for several of these processes.

Call today for an appointment at (920) 832-5697.

To honor our men & women who have made the ultimate sacrifices for our nation ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, we will be observing Memorial Day with loved ones โค๏ธ. Our office will be closed on Monday, May 25th.

We encourage you to join the Fox Valley Veterans Council ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on Saturday, May 23rd, at 10am for a short, but memorable Memorial Day ceremony ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ at the front steps of the Courthouse (older portion). Following the ceremony, the front door will be temporarily open to guests to view the updated names on the Veteran Memorial Wall ๐Ÿช– inside the foyer.

We look forward to serving you again on Tuesday. As always, we work best by appointments ๐Ÿ“ž by calling (920) 832-5697.

We took our "Diddy Kong" (mini Digital Kiosk) setup to the local VA2K event at the John H. Bradley VA Clinic in Appleton. The weather cooperated mostly (a little windy). There were several great information booths with great tools for Veterans! It's always enjoyable to connect with other resources, too.

We were able to set up a few appointments - a great benefit to having a truly mobile "office" with laptop, WiFi, printer/scanner, and now our new Android tablet for digital signatures!

Once again, the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center ๐ŸŽญ is GENEROUSLY offering up to 10 ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ tickets for the hilarious new musical โ€œ& Julietโ€ ๐Ÿ’• flipping the script ๐Ÿ“– as if Juliet hadnโ€™t ended it all.

Tickets are for the Tuesday, June 2nd ๐Ÿ“… show at 7:30pm ๐Ÿ•ข. From the website https://foxcitiespac.com/event/juliet/:

Created by the Emmyยฎ-winning writer ๐Ÿ† from โ€œSchittโ€™s Creek,โ€ this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next ๐Ÿค” if Juliet didnโ€™t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away โœจ on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning ๐ŸŒ… and a second chance at life and loveโ€”her way ๐Ÿ’–.

Julietโ€™s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems ๐ŸŽถ as iconic as her name, including:

๐ŸŽค โ€œSince U Been Goneโ€
๐Ÿฆ โ€œRoarโ€
๐Ÿ’ฟ โ€œBaby One More Timeโ€
๐ŸŽง โ€œLarger Than Lifeโ€
๐ŸŽผ โ€œThatโ€™s The Way It Isโ€
