The TVCA will host our first Military Moms Conference on Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the American Red Cross Conference Center, 2111 Dana Avenue.
 |
The event is free for mothers of children who have served or are currently serving in the military, as well as spouses of those serving. You can register at www.tristatevca.org. The first 150 who register will receive two free Cincinnati Reds tickets for the May 21st Military Appreciation Day game against the Seattle Mariners. All attendees will receive free gift bags and resource guides from participating sponsors including Kroger, P&G, PNC, the USO, the Cincinnati Reds, the VA, and the Red Cross.
A keynote address by Elaine Brye, author of Be Safe, Love Mom, will share her personal experience with 4 children in the military – one each in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.  The event will include educational presentations and panel discussions with experts in the field, as well provide information about resources available in the Tristate to help moms and spouses cope with the stress of family members as they transition from the military or return from deployments. It will also connect participants with other local military families.
