What a fun and exciting time we had with our friends from the Veterans Network Association, veterans, their families and supporters who came out and connected with us.
We are looking forward to making a few adjustments to our gaming program and excited to share in the upcoming months.
Shout out to Combat Tested Gaming, American Legion GG and our partners for their on going support.

🎮 VPH Gaming is back this Tuesday! 🎮

Not everyone connects by sitting in a support group... sometimes the best conversations happen while playing a game.

For almost 4 years, VPH Gaming has been bringing veterans, family members, and friends together in a relaxed, judgment-free environment where the focus is on camaraderie, connection, and having a good time.

Whether you're a seasoned gamer, play casually, or just want to hang out and meet some great people, we'd love to have you join us!

📅 Tuesday, July 7
🕔 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

📍 American Legion Post 491
1331 Riverside Dr.
McHenry, IL

OR

📍 The Landing Zone
100 S. Atkinson Rd., Suite 110
Grayslake, IL

💻 Can't make it in person? You can also join us remotely! (See the flyer for our current Call of Duty gamertag.)

🎮 Multiple gaming systems available at both locations.
🥤 Snacks and refreshments provided.

You don't have to be a veteran to attend. Family members and friends are always welcome because building a strong support network starts with bringing good people together.

Tag someone who should come with you, share this post, and help us continue building a community where no one has to go it alone.
