The City of Everett’s Veterans Services Department recently hosted its monthly Veterans Luncheon at the Edward G. Connolly Center, bringing together local veterans for fellowship, a shared meal and information about available services.
Attendees enjoyed a complimentary meal prepared by the Council on Aging staff while connecting with the Veterans Services team and fellow service members. Veterans also learned about upcoming programs and ongoing resources available to support them and their families.
Special Assistant to the Mayor Chris Connolly spoke on behalf of the Office of Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. Connolly, whose father served in the military, shared reflections on his family’s history of service and emphasized the administration’s commitment to supporting veterans and military families. He also highlighted how the Mayor’s Office can assist residents by connecting them with City services and veteran resources.
“We owe so much to our veterans and their families for their service to our country,” said Mayor Van Campen. “As the son of a veteran, I want everyone who has served to know that the City of Everett is here to support you. I thank Chris, my colleagues on the City Council, Representative McGonagle and all who helped make this event possible. We look forward to gathering again next month.”
The Veterans Luncheon is held monthly and is open to all veterans and their families.
