 The northwest part of Arizona continues to be a hotspot for veterans’ suicide. Do not be afraid to ask someone with these symptoms if they are considering this permanent solution to a temporary problem. You can make a difference!
 I am exploring any interest in a newly constructed 600 sq ft housing unit available under a rent-to-own program for military veterans. The terms are $700 monthly rental with ownership attainable in ten years and the provision for lot rent thereafter. Location is anticipated in Golden Valley, AZ 86413. This will be in a park type setting expecting 100 units with a community center. It is expected to be HUDVASH eligible. Please RSVP to president@javc.org with your name and contact information.

On a personal note, I will be celebrating my FIFTH birthday on September 2nd. I would not have made this achievement without the generosity of an ORGAN DONOR. Did you know that there are more than 100,000 people on the transplant waiting list? I ask that you consider joining the organ donor list so that another lucky individual may also celebrate an extended life.
That’s all for now, please take a moment to remember all of September’s celebrations.
Send me an email at president@javc.org if you would like to attend our next Zoom meeting
Stay safe!
