Please Note: Saturday’s “Boots to Heels” Event has been postponed and will be rescheduled later this spring.
The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is pleased to invite women veterans to “Boots 2 Heels,” a free event designed to foster wellness and connect women with resources and guidance for empowerment.
