The Veterans Leadership Council is having a fundraiser tomorrow night at the Hilton North Raleigh Midtown on Wake Forest Road. Gov. Pat McCrory has committed to attending and making this one of his first official public events, the council says. The nonprofit is creating a Veterans Life Center at the Umstead Hospital Complex at Butner, hoping to offer emergency and transitional housing, job training, support groups, mental health services and various therapies for 400 veterans a year. The cost is $100 per person. For more information and to RSVP contact Joyce Kohn: jkohn@kohnassociates.net or 919-210-3829
