Chamber Student Committee Veteran's Project Underway!
Local students serving on a Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce committee are once again veterans_project.jpg spearheading a collection of items for those servicemen and women who have served their country and are now either living at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Wilkes-Barre or are receiving much needed care for injuries or illnesses obtained from serving in the military services.

“The Student Action Committee of the Chamber was formed 2 years ago and the students wanted to work quickly to begin a project, stated Elizabeth Bernstein, who is the chairperson for the Student Action Committee.  “After much discussion, the students felt that much was being provided for those servicemen and women who are currently serving their country abroad, but they felt that something should be done to assist those who have already served their country and may be in need of some assistance here in their home country.  Thus, the “Thank You Veterans” project was initiated in November of 2008 and the students wanted to continue this project in 2009.”
