At 10 a.m. Nov. 9, Friends of the Van Zandt County Library will meet in the Buchanan Room. The program will be about services available to disabled Veterans. It will also be about opportunities to help these men and women.

Even though some of them drive out here in the country, city driving may be a challenge. Commissioner Virgil Melton will present the program.
