Veterans don’t have be receiving VA services to participate, but they must be living on Kaua‘i.
There will be two “talk story groups” taking place at the same time; one for veterans and one for their family members.

The project is partially funded by the VA Office of Rural Health.
The event is scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. in Hanapepe.
