SUMMARY:Veterans Beer Club of Houston
DESCRIPTION:🍻 Houston Veterans: Your Transition Map Starts Here. \nThe military gave us checklists for everything — uniforms\, missions\, procedures. Then we transition out and suddenly it’s: “Figure out your career\, benefits\, business\, and community. Good luck!” \nThat’s why Veterans Beer Club Houston exists. \nA place where veterans\, veteran-owned businesses\, and organizations come together — no PowerPoints\, no long briefings\, just great conversations\, community\, and connections over a cold beer. 🍺 \nHouston has one of the largest veteran populations in the country\, and we need spaces where veterans can find the people and resources that help them thrive. \nJoin us for: \n📅 Thursday\, July 30\n⏰ 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n📍 No Label Brewing Company\n5351 1st St\, Katy\, TX \n🔁 Happens every last Thursday of the month\n🤝 Veterans\, families\, supporters\, and community partners are all welcome! \nConnect with organizations making a difference: \n⭐ FourBlock — Career readiness for veterans\n⭐ Combined Arms — Connecting veterans to Houston resources\n⭐ The Civvie — Veteran stories and transition support\n⭐ Houston Regional Veterans Chamber of Commerce — Supporting veteran-owned businesses\n⭐ Veterans Disability Benefits of America — Guidance on earned benefits\n⭐ Veteran Fellowship — Building lasting veteran community \nOne conversation can change everything. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t finding resources — it’s knowing where to start and having someone say\, “Come with me\, I’ll introduce you.” \nThat’s what this night is about. 🍻 \nA special thank you to the founders of VBC Houston — Craig Casipe\, MBA and Amina Buric\, PMP\, MBA — and to Randy Rodriguez and the team at No Label Brewing Company for creating a home for Houston’s veteran community. \nFollow Veterans Beer Club Houston:\n📸 Instagram: instagram.com/vbc_houston\n👍 Facebook: https://lnkd.in/g9_GbSic\n💼 LinkedIn Group: https://lnkd.in/gSzjw95N \nIf you know a veteran who needs community\, connection\, or a place to start — tag them and bring them along. 🇺🇸🍻 \n
