 Nat Benipayo introduced Jeromy Pierroz. s She met him at a church function that she attended with her granddaughter. On very short notice Jeromy was able to come and speak to the club. Jeromy Pierroz grew up in Cool, Ca. After High School he joined the Navy and served for thirteen years and now resides in Roseville. On leaving the Navy he realized what a difficult and frustrating process that exit was, He felt that he wanted to do something to make it easier for the men and women as they transition out of service. Particularly he wanted to help them find jobs, how to access VA benefits, find housing, clothing and food as many are homeless when they exit. He and another veteran formed Changing Cadence a Christian Based 501C3. He talked about a Veteran's Day Walk on Saturday from 3:00 PM at Roseville's Veterans Memorial Park. The Walk is approximately 3 miles. Needless to say, he'd love to have some Rotarians participate in the Walk. |
