Men’s Veteran Lunch – 4th Tuesday

We reserve the 4th Tuesday of the month for male veterans to get together and eat. It’s a time for the men to discuss whatever they want. That doesn’t mean that spouses and significant others can’t come and eat also….we’ve reserved a separate, private room for them to gather also. Don’t worry, we’ve got a Women Veteran Lunch on a different day.

OCT 19 (2-3pm)

Let’s Get Crafty

Spend an hour with Sharon making crafts.  Crafting is a therapeutic and rewarding activity.  No special skills required…we have all the supplies at Walker House, so come on for an hour of rewarding fun.

Enjoy a night of fantasy gaming fun with other veterans.  If you’re a gamer, in-person Dungeons & Dragons and other fantasy games might be just what you need to relieve stress.
