Storey and Lyon Community Coalition meets this Thursday
SILVER SPRINGS, Nev. — The public is invited to the monthly breakfast meeting of the Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey Counties on Thursday, Feb. 8, 9 a.m. at the Silver Springs Community Center. Each month the private nonprofit convenes for a meeting featuring guest speakers and ongoing planning on issues impacting the region.
The guest speaker this month is Perfecto Manuta of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (Reno Vet Center), who will describe the services the VA provides, including its mobile outreach van (Mobile Vet Center). In his role as a Readjustment Counseling Technician, Perfecto Manuta provides support and information for returning combat veterans and/or their families as they transition back into regular civilian life.
He also coordinates with local community members to provide activities such as hiking, camping, fly fishing, snowshoeing, rock climbing and other outdoor activities for veterans and their dependents.
The Healthy Communities Coalition is a collaborative impact group composed of dozens of local, state, federal and tribal groups and hundreds of community volunteers that agree to work together so all members of our communities have opportunities to thrive.
Together, groups and volunteers work to improve access to health care services, to affordable, local food, and to opportunities for sustainable, community-based economic development (through a Health and Wellness Hub; a Healthy Food Hub; and a Community Development Hub).
