Dear Phoenix SVA Chapters,

I am contacting you on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of the VA for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, Dr. Tommy Sowers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Sowers>. Secretary Sowers would like to invite you and the Vets on your respective campuses to attend a Phoenix Veterans Benefit Fair and our "VA2Vets" event on Wednesday, March 12th at 10 am. The event will be held at 850 E. Jones Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85040.

The event will feature a Service and Benefits Fair, the City of Phoenix Mayor, Greg Stanton, Secretary Tommy Sowers and a VA Mobile Vet Center. It will be a great opportunity to learn about VA benefits and services, as well as to meet Secretary Sowers. We'd be honored to have you all there. We'd also appreciate it if you could share this information with your veterans and others who you think may be interested in attending.

Please see the attached flyer for complete details and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Mark
