Deadline nears for female veterans retreat
The July 31 deadline for applying to attend the fourth-annual Female Veterans Unite networking retreat at the Dayspring Conference Center in Parrish, 8411 25th St. E., is rapidly approaching.
To be considered for the retreat, applicants may print out an application from femaleveteransunite.com.
The four-day, three-night retreat will be held Sept. 14-17.
During this retreat, the women will do various projects and activities that will allow them to build the bonds of trust with other women veterans who have also “walked their same walk.”
Those selected for the retreat will be able to attend free of charge because of the sponsorship of Gold Coast Eagle Distributing Company/Budweiser, Home Depot, and BMW of Sarasota.
