Tri-State PVA will establish and maintain a membership program for disabled citizens in our area with an emphasis on spinal cord injured or neurologically impaired veterans. This program will also promote the name PVA Tri-State Chapter by locating new members and volunteers through: networking with other disability groups, media, and membership drives. Through the membership program we offer two social events annually. The first membership event is the members picnic. The second is in September, the members are invited to our Annual Banquet to celebrate our year in review. For more information please call 503-362-7998 or email tristatepva@tristatepva.org.

    Recreation fund activities

    Recreation Fund
