The
Broward County Veterans Council (BCVC) was established in 1977 by virtue of the
common needs and interests of the Veteran and his/her family. We are a federation of 57 organizations in
Broward and
Working
through the Division of Veteran Services, the Department of Veteran Affairs and
our Political Representatives, we insure that a high level of efficiency exists
in the handling of Veterans and Veteran issues, and we are constantly seeking
to improve the conditions of the Veterans.
As
a result of the above, the BCVC and the VA Representatives hold monthly
meetings to discuss the problems of the Veteran and what can be done to improve
their condition.
The
BCVC has been credited with many accomplishments over the past twenty years,
including spearheading the fight to build the VA Outpatient Clinic now located
in
We
are constantly on the watch for legislation affecting the Veteran and we keep
our member organizations informed so that they may act accordingly. There are many other things that are done for
the Veterans, such as giving them personal attention and personal gifts that
are not supplied by the hospital.
We
have arranged parades and other celebrations on the appropriate holidays and
invited participation by our local schools and other groups.
Our
actions for the Veterans are too numerous to mention, but we are always there
for them. We need your input. All veterans are welcome. Please join us on the 3rd Tuesday
of the Month. Meetings are currently
held at the new Sunrise Outpatient Clinic,
