Good Day Outpost 1
I apologize for the brief report. I am currently fighting a nasty head cold. Report will be brief. I will try and catch up on the news tomorrow.
Monthly Meeting is this Wednesday at 10AM—229 Lake Ella Dr. Tallahassee FL 32303
Greetings, Team
Please feel free to observe the next session of the Leon County Veterans Treatment Court -Monday, September 14, ( 3 pm Leon County Courthouse, Courtroom 2E.) At some point, we hope you will consider becoming a Veteran Mentor for one of the Vets working their way through the program. The new procedures for admission to the Veterans’ Court are now available and have been distributed by the Fla Assn of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The legislation sponsored by Representative Patt Maney (Ret. Gen.USA) loosened the admission procedures for the 32 “specialty” Veterans Courts around the state.
Today, our clinic team of 18 Volunteers, including 7 attys, hosted 15 Veterans and family members in another busy, full house for this week’s TVLC legal clinic at the American Legion Post 13. Kudos again to the Veteran team driving Wednesday to Quincy and back, delivering a truckandtrailer load of food again this week. ( Sam Adams, Matthew Thomasen, Eddie Mcmillian and Levar Parker ) .
Redux: VA Came Through with 48 new beds for homeless Vets in Tallahassee who are VA-eligible, which will help some with the problems from the closing of Vet Village, owned by Volunteers of America, Inc, which is closing at the end of September, for lack of funding! A relief to everyone .
One special need: The number of issues with the VA is outstripping our local resources to keep up with the complications, new claims, and VA delays; so, any other attorneys wanting to join our “VA Law team,” we need you, and have training and national legal resources available to bring you into the fray. Were you a JAG? Have you helped with Social Security or other federal agencies that you already have a headstart on picking up VA law?
What else?
