From the VA Rural Health Newsletter “On October 26, 2013, Green Cactus Project volunteers from the Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada, Home Depot Stores in Mohave County Arizona, Vets2Vets, and other supporters came together for Make a Difference Day 2013 to aid elderly Veterans, people with disabilities, and families scattered across the rural desert communities of the American Southwest. This vast desert landscape, where summer temperatures can reach up to 126 degrees, is dotted by mobile homes, many of them old and in need of repair. In Mohave County Arizona and Southern Nevada the land area in square miles is 14,320 with 15 persons per square mile, and a total population is 204,330. One out of 6 is a Veteran from present and past wars.” See more at: http://www.amceoinc.org/id7.html or for the full VA Rural Health Newsletter: http://www.ruralhealth.va.gov/docs/news/ORH_The_Rural_Connection_Newsletter_Dec2013.pdf#page=8

Yavapai College will be closed for the holiday break from Dec 19-Jan 1, so we’ll be taking a little break in posting. If you’re thinking about continuing your education in the New Year, contact VUB for help in getting a great start at www.yc.edu/vub or 928-717-7688. We wish you the very best during the holiday season – which can be stressful for many – so please reach out to your family, friends, and fellow Veterans and let them know you care.
