Campfire Meeting: First Responders • Veterans • Healthcare Professionals

*** This is for First responders, Veterans, Active Duty Military, and Healthcare professionals only***

Over the past couple of months, while we’ve been out and about, we’ve had many people ask for a space where first responders, veterans, and healthcare professionals can come together, a place to relax, meet others, socialize, and talk about whatever’s on your mind.

This is an informal and supportive group, no pressure, no agenda, just good company, conversation, and community. We’re here for you, and the night will flow however the group wants it to.

Special thanks to Dirigo Bookkeeping LLC for sponsoring the evening and providing pizza, and to Pat’s Pizza for donating the room.

Halligan will be making an appearance if you’d like to say hello!

We plan to make this a monthly gathering, building connections and support among those who give so much to others.

Come as you are, you’re among friends.

“Along Came a Dog” is not just a talk, it’s Tim’s deeply personal story of struggle, healing, and the transformative bond between people and dogs. With honesty, heart, and a few paw prints, Tim reminds audiences that sometimes the smallest act of kindness or the soft nudge of a therapy dog can be the beginning of hope.

Tim presents this for the first time about his story and how dogs helped him, and goes into the biophysical changes that happen.
