OASFAA Entertainment and Service Project

The 2019 OASFAA Conference theme is “Live from the Red Carpet.”  Your OASFAA Conference and Local Arrangement Committees have been working hard to make this conference both educational and entertaining.  If you would like to dress up, our photographers will be ready to capture your style as you walk the red carpet to the dinner on Thursday night.

We of course will have our famous basket drawing with this year’s beneficiary being the Coffee Bunker.

The Coffee Bunker in a non-profit organization that assists veterans transition to civilian life by helping them get connected, find community, and receive support.

•       Getting Connected:  At the Coffee Bunker veterans can make connections with other veterans, representatives from other veteran organizations, resource people related to employment and education, and others who can facilitate transition to civilian life.

•       Finding Community:  Veterans can transition to civilian life easier when they have a community for a base.  The Coffee Bunker is all about community to support vets.

•       Receiving Support:  In attempting to make full transition to civilian life, veterans need support in a variety of ways.  Support through the Bunker is available for life basics:  food, clothing, and a place to gather.  Peer support is available for managing personal issues, being successful in college, finding and keeping employment, and family enrichment.
