Thursday, November 12th at 5:30 PM
Free and open to all
Presented by Town Hall Theater. Cathy Turner will emcee.
All are invited to attend a Family Vets Town Hall, on Thursday, November 12th at 5:30pm at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury. Immediate family members of veterans are invited to stand before their community and speak for up to ten minutes about their experiences. Everyone is encouraged to attend and listen. The event is free and non-political, and all perspectives are valued. Snacks will be provided. RSVPs are optional but encouraged.
What to Expect
For all attendees: All community members are invited to this event. Only immediate family members of veterans will speak, but all are encouraged to attend and listen. Throughout the event, you may hear something you agree or disagree with. You may have a question. Or you may want to say encouraging words with the intention to help. However, we ask that you please refrain from responding. We are simply here to listen and learn.
For speakers: Please tell us about your own experiences, whatever they may be, rather than speaking broadly about an issue or organization. You’re a member of our community, and it’s your stories, reflections, and insights that we’re anxious to hear. Each speaker will be given up to 10 minutes. Family members of veterans who would like to speak can mark that preference when registering. If you’re considering speaking but prefer not to register, we encourage you to attend. After pre-registered speakers go, the emcee will take speakers from the floor, time permitting. Of course, family members of veterans (and all community members) are also welcome to simply attend and listen.
