LACONIA — Christian Lanman, outreach specialist with the Wounded Warrior Project, will be speaking at the Laconia Knights of Columbus Veterans meeting hall, 10 a.m. to noon, on Friday, Jan. 10.

Wounded Warrior Project began by providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have WWP’s programs and services. Today, through WWP’s direct programs in mental health, career counseling and long-term rehabilitative care, along with their advocacy efforts, WWP improves the lives of millions of warriors and their families. Any veteran, active military personnel, or those wishing to learn more about the Wounded Warrior Project are invited. The meeting hall is located at 314 S. Main St. Parking is available at the rear of the building and access is via the rear door.

The Knights of Columbus also sponsors an informal coffee and donuts open house every Friday morning, 10 a.m. to noon, open to all veterans. Advocate services and materials are available.
