Fall 2020 NoticeBecause of COVID-19, the entire Tai Chi for Veterans Program has switched gears and transitioned to the Zoom platform.
The entire Tai Chi for Veterans program was recently folded into Telehealth, has been added to the CPRS, and any Veteran should now be able to obtain a “community consult for Tai Chi” and participate in any classes nationwide simply by speaking with their medical provider or by logging onto myhealthEvet.com.
Plus, as of 8/5/20, one of the weekly classes transitions over to a “blended-learning” format: for those students who wish to continue enjoying classes in the company of their fellow Veterans while still maintaining safe and healthy social distance, we’ll be able to accommodate them AS WELL AS students who wish to continue Zooming in.
Please take a moment to check out the attached flyers…feel free to pass them along if you like! And in case you’re still wondering EXACTLY how this whole program works, there is a complete Program Description…you can feel especially free to share this with any medical provider if he/she has any confusion whatsoever re how to generate a “consult.”
You should always feel free to reach out to me personally (all my contact info is in the flyers). I’d be happy to speak with any of you anytime!
Health & peace,
Jessica

The Stand Down originally scheduled for Friday, 24 September 2020 is now rescheduled for Friday, 23 April 2021.
Sadly, the event is delayed due to the ongoing Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Your health and well-being remains our top concern, as always and we do not want to jeopardize you in any way. Safe distancing, masks and so many more guidelines established by our State Governor by direction of the CDC, to keep everyone safe still may have the potential for unhealthy risks even with our best efforts.
For Veterans, Family Members and Service Providers, we look forward to the twelfth annual Stand Down event and hope that moving from September to April will not cause too much delay in your services. If you are in need of any
type of service please do not wait until April. Our Committee Members are standing by to assist you at any time. Call the Veterans’ Awareness Center in Greenwood, Delaware at 302-349-4898.
Our Committee appreciates the organizations that have already registered, as Service Providers for the upcoming 2020 event and we will continue to hold a place for you for the 2021 event. You need not reapply. If you are unavailable to attend, please contact the Veterans Awareness Center at:
302-349-4898 or
lbjnavcret@hotmail.com
We will ensure that any information that you would like to provide to attendees will be set in a special planned area.
We wish you all continued good health as the world navigates back to a safe and normal life. Thank you for your patience and understanding and we will see you in April!
