About this Event
Join the Veteran Spouse Network as we celebrate 10 years of connection, community, and support for military and veteran spouses and families.
Raise a glass with us at The University of Texas at Austin for an evening of cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, live music, and meaningful connection as we reflect on a decade of impact and look ahead to what's next.
Enjoy a cocktail-style reception featuring live music by Travis Foster during the arrival hour and a special performance from Movement Disorder, led by our very own Dean Allan Cole of the UT School of Social Work. Throughout the evening, you'll hear stories from the people who helped build VSN into what it is today and celebrate the community that has grown alongside us.
For ten years, VSN has helped military and veteran spouses find connection, peer support, trusted resources, and a sense of belonging. Together, we have created thousands of meaningful connections that strengthen military and veteran families across Texas and beyond. This celebration honors the first ten years. It is also an investment in the next ten.
While attendance is free, guests are strongly encouraged to make a suggested donation of $25 or more through our UT giving page. Your gift helps ensure that military and veteran spouses continue to have access to the support, resources, and community they need in the years ahead. Donate HERE.
Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
Join us as we celebrate the past, honor the people who made it possible, and invest in what's next.
