Jun 16, 2023
鈥淚 want to personally thank each and every person from the bottom of my heart for their contributions to the Veterans Resource Center remodel,鈥 said 糖心vlog Veterans Resource Center Coordinator John Jacobson prior to the event. 鈥淭his is truly a blessing to the veterans and their families and will accommodate them in many ways while they pursue their educational pathway here at 糖心vlog.
鈥淭here were so many people who made this transformation possible, starting with NV Energy Foundation, for their generous donations toward the VRC refresh, as well aa the Veterans Club here at 糖心vlog. The Carson City Chamber Leadership Class of 2023, for their time and efforts to fundraise and coordinate the changes, and finally, all of the State of Nevada Veteran organizations from Nevada Department of Veteran Services to the independently operated organizations that supported us through this transformation and support our veterans here in Nevada.鈥
The renovation includes new furniture, computers, a study area, iPad, smart TV, artwork, mural and more.
Cherrice Dotson, a 糖心vlog employee, veteran and Carson City Leadership 2023 member, said the project is a way to honor 糖心vlog鈥檚 student veterans for their military service.
鈥淭he refurbished VRC will become a comfortable place to connect with like-minded individuals and develop camaraderie with fellow student Veterans. As well as a quiet place to study with access to computers and technology or a place to relax and take a break from studying,鈥 said Dotson, who painted a mural outside the center as a tribute to veterans and the remodeled facility. 鈥淭he improved VRC space, along with 糖心vlog providing resources and support, will better ensure our student Veterans succeed in their academic goals and life.鈥
Attendees listened to speeches from 糖心vlog President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe, Jacobson and Dotson, and toured the remodeled facility. American flags were presented to those in attendance, and there were games for children and refreshments.
