A newly formed student club focused on the needs of veterans has been meeting twice a month and has been organizing community service projects.

Club founder Danny Hitchings said the goal is to help veterans heal and that community service is a part of healing. The projects of the club have included helping to reorganize and clean the Recreation Center weight room.

The initial stage is to bring together veterans who are students or are living in the local community for mutual support and communication. A long-term goal is to look for broader opportunities to support veterans, including helping to introduce them to the Transcendental Meditation technique.

The club meets on the first and third Saturday of the month at 2:30 p.m. in the Trustees Board Room in the Argiro Student Center. Those who are not vets are also welcome. For more information, contact Mr. Hitchings at hitchingsdanny@yahoo.com.
