May Newsletter

May 2017 Edition

ABRI/Homes for the Brave kicked off April at F airfield University's Quick Center for the Arts for the performances of WAR Stories and we could not be more proud of our men and women that comprised the cast . The month included some amazing visits from some longtime friends as well as new groups of high school and college students. May promises to be very exciting as we look ahead to our 13th Annual Golf Classic along with wonderful community service projects from Turner Construction, Keller Williams Realty and KeyBank.
