======================
The Peer Group Meeting for Dryhootch.org was attended by Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association.
She filed the following comments.
MILWAUKEE - Brady Street - Dryhootch.org
Approximately 15 attendees were given a summary of the services offered and supported by the staff and partners of Dryhootch.org. They were also recruiting Board Members.
Bob, veteran and one of founders, shared background on how he arrived at the table and his passion for services for returning veterans. The services need by the vets returning are all a matter of how they can/are re-adjusting to the civilian life after a tour or so away to environments that have taken a toll on their mental, emotional, physical, financial, academic, quality of life and family stability.
The insights given by Bob, Mark Flower, Veteran Peer Coordinator, Azael Brodhead, Director of Day Services - Milwaukee Area Investment Board, Art Soto - Peer Coordinator, Tuesday Nights, and others associated with Dryhootch.org provided an excellent background on how much is needed and much can be given through peer relations for the veterans.
The setting was very relaxed. The Dryhootch.org coffee was good and so was the donut.
The attendees gathered in an upstairs room on sofas and discussed the needs and services being provided.
