NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Military veterans, ROTC members and their guests are invited to attend a social for community veterans, sponsored by Stephen F. Austin State University’s Veterans Resource Center, from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, at Maklemore’s Ale House and Bistro, located at 2304 North St.

Joe Cuellar, a veteran of the U.S. Army and singer/songwriter from Lufkin, will perform a medley of songs, some his original music, from genres ranging from folk to country. There is no cover charge, and free appetizers (until they are gone) will be provided.

“SFA has a large population of students who also are veterans,” John Fontenot, VRC coordinator, said. “Our community’s military men and women have a strong bond — they are like a family. Through this event, we hope to help connect those who have served our country and provide them with an opportunity to network, relax and have fun.”

For more information about the social, contact Fontenot at (936) 468-6494.
