Veterans can learn about career and educational benefits and programs that go beyond typical VA educational benefits (such as the GI Bill) during a free networking dinner presented by the American Legion Auxiliary, in conjunction with Elmhurst College and the Elmhurst Public Library. This networking event will feature speakers from Chicago-area organizations that offer service opportunities, certifications, college credit for military service and other programs for veterans. There also will be a brief service honoring the victims of 9/11.
