Our guest speaker for the January meeting on the 14th, at 6:00 PM, in the Delaware room of the Anthem Center is Stephanie Helms. She will talk about the Kline Veterans Fund.  The Kline Veterans Fund provides emergency housing assistance and other supportive services to homeless and at-risk veterans and their families in Southern Nevada.

One of the important things the Fund does is help finance the training of service dogs for veterans in Clark County. Here is a picture of one of the veterans, and her now fully certified service dog because of the aid from Kline Veterans Fund.
