Our Public Issues Community Service Program is designed to connect our members with effective projects and activities relating to civic engagement including; citizenship, veterans affairs, emergency preparedness and safety.

It is fitting to honor veterans during the month of November and we are grateful to have Stan Bostic, Founder/Director of Community Affairs of Honor Flight South Florida as our Guest Speaker.
