CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Veterans and their families celebrated the fall season with the Montgomery County Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) on October 29 at Rotary Park. Present at the event were current and alumni participants of the VTC, veteran mentors, VTC team and staff, and their families.
“We get to know our participants that we see regularly. Sadly we don’t build the same connection with their families,” Judge Ken Goble said. “Strong, positive relationships are critical in getting through the VTC. We are celebrating these relationships and hopefully creating new ones with friends.”
The day’s events consisted of mini games, pumpkin painting for the kids, and a corn-hole competition. Judge Goble and VTC Team member Richard Meeks took charge of the grill along with the help of other volunteers. The VTC Veteran Mentors provided music and helped with activities.
“It was so nice to see participants and their families interacting with each other, and getting to know one another outside the court,” Anna Batson, the newest member of the Veterans Treatment Staff said.
If you are interesting in becoming a participant you can visit www.montgomerycountyvtc.org or call Batson at 931-648-5766 Ext 11247. The next VTC Graduation is scheduled for November 15 at 1 p.m. in the Division I courtroom at the Montgomery County Courthouse.
