VR&E continues to excel in providing a wide array of benefit delivery options. As a reminder, Tele-counseling is one option you can use to keep in touch with your Counselor in our ever-changing world. What is Tele-counseling? Tele-counseling, which is accessible on any web-enabled device with a webcam and microphone (Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop), allows you to meet with your Counselor virtually through VA Video Connect. There is no need to download specialized software or obtain unique usernames and passwords. Access to a scheduled counseling session is obtained through a unique link sent directly to you and is valid for that counseling session only. Tele-counseling increases VA’s responsiveness to your needs, reduces travel costs and time, and improves your access to necessary VR&E services. If interested in this service, we encourage you to contact your Counselor as soon as possible. Participation is voluntary and not required. We are excited to offer you Tele-counseling as another way to receive personalized, interactive face-to-face care regardless of where you live. A grateful nation thanks you for your service. Sincerely, -VR&E Service ________________________________________ Connect With Us Update your subscriptions, modify your password or email address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.

We're excited to let you know that Microsoft's Military Affairs division has asked Veterans2Work to develop a Veteran Career Tracking application, using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform. What's significant about this project is that program trainees YOU will help make it happen. Working with experienced professionals, you’ll apply your new training to help design, configure and implement a working software application that will be used by Microsoft to support its own... veteran relationships. This is a uniquely valuable opportunity to combine your training with hands-on, mentored experience in an actual, full-project-life-cycle work setting. Your contributions will become part of the working applicationwhile helping you qualify for a great job. Mark your calendars for our kickoff conference call on May 13 at 10 AM Pacific Time. Going forward, project review calls will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10 AM PDT for eight weeks. Each call will last about 20 minutes, with extra time on Fridays. There is still time to register for the program. You'll receive details once you are registered. We are proud to partner with Microsoft, a leader in cloud-based CRM and enterrpise applications. With more 50,000 business customers, demand for the skills you'll acquire is very strong. Through our Cloud Computing Career Launch program, you will receive training, support and placement assistance. Based on similar programs we've run in the past, and depending on your effort, you can expect to be fully employed within a few weeks or months. Our program is open to active duty military, veterans and spouses and is completely free of charge. No prior experience necessary, and your success is completely up to you. We love helping fellow veterans succeed! The Veterans2Work Team Helping veterans and businesses succeed together 415-925-1515

Attached is the flyer I hope no one uses because we really want to get the Constant Contact PDF, with live links, out in every veteran's email and on social media so they can just click and order as many tickets as they want. We’re also looking forward to hosting current military and everyone’s families and extended families. We already have close to 300 reservations in the first 24 hours. And that's with almost no advertising, mainly our in-house list and one college. ... This is going to be BIG. I'm looking forward to being forced to have to buy more tickets than the 2,500 we are starting with. Thanks so much for all your support of our heroes. BTW, if you have a special need, we also have a post card format and a plain text format. Best, nl Neil Lichtman Founding Director Know A Vet? www.KnowAVet.org 211 Hope Street - P. O.
