Veterans advisory schedules meeting

EPHRATA - The Grant County Veterans Advisory Board will have a public meeting on March 7 at 4 p.m. at the Grant County Courthouse Commissioners Meeting Room.

The Grant County Veterans Advisory Board administers the Grant County Veterans Emergency Assistance Fund and assists veterans with obtaining benefits through the VA.

Members of the Board are from the local veteran service agencies throughout Grant County.

“We go over the monthly financial and assistance reports, discuss any items of concern regarding the assistance program that have come up since the last meeting and start working on the Veterans Benefit Fair,” said Karen Hand of accounting in the auditor's office.

Hand said the Benefit Fair for this year has not been scheduled. It will most likely be set for summer or early fall, she said.
