(Colorado) -- Maybe you've heard that the Veteran's Administration is planning a few town halls and resource fairs in Eastern Colorado.
There will be opportunities to attend in Burlington, Lamar, La Junta, Alamosa and Salida.
The concerns in SE Colorado have been great following an announcement that the VA was considering closing VA Clinics in the Arkansas Valley. The Otero County Commissioners crafted a resolution opposing the closure in a public meeting.
If you want to attend the upcoming public town halls, the first is in Burlington on August 8th from 2:30 to 5:30-resource fair at the Ambulance Shed at 1576 Lowell Avenue. The town hall will happen from 5:30-6:30.
The dates for SE Colorado are:
August 9th, Lamar at the Lamar Senior Center at 407 East Olive Street. Resource Fair will be from 2:30-5:30, Town hall from 5:30-6:30.
August 10th, La Junta at the La Junta Senior Center at 114 East Second Street, Resource Fair will be from 2:30-5:30, Town Hall, from 5:30-6:30.
