Due to the large service area, we have to cap the event at 300 people; Veterans are required to pre-register themselves and all family members attending either online at www.vocwny.org or by calling 716-898-0110; you may also scan the QR Code on posters and Social Media Sites. If the event is full, you will be notified via email and will have the option to request to be put on the waitlist, in the event that space becomes available. Those on the waitlist will receive first consideration and priority for participation in future scheduling of the event. We thank you for your patience and understanding during the development and expansion of VOCWNY Peer Support Services.
