Veterans Administration Identification Cards - There is a new process for the Veterans Administration Identification Cards. The new cards will allow secure access to the new VA Hospital location and eliminate the ability for a possible compromise of someone’s Social Security number, along with many other benefits to the new ID cards. Anyone that needs to apply for a new card, or has a current card, is urged to visit the Veterans Administration Hospital on Zorn Avenue to obtain their new ID card.
Rouge Powerhouse Scholarship - Applications for the Rouge Powerhouse Scholarship will be available beginning April 1 through June 1, 2014. We are pleased to announce that we are awarding 74- $1,500.00 scholarships this year.
