BRIEFLY Open house celebrates female veterans HERMISTON — A photo exhibit and networking event are a highlight of the upcoming Open House Celebrating Women Veterans. The free event is Friday, Oct. 6 from 3-6 p.m. at Holiday Inn Express & Suites, 245 N. First St. Hermiston. A collaborative effort with the Umatilla/Morrow County Veterans Services, Elizabeth Estabrooks, Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs womens veterans coordinator, will be on hand to answer questions. Refreshments will be served. The “I Am Not Invisible” exhibit features nearly two dozen female veterans from Oregon. The project is the brainchild of Estabrooks and Felita Singleton, Portland State University Veterans Resource Center Director. The two women commissioned the project after hearing concerns from female veterans. The goal is to increase awareness and dialogue about women veterans and to enhance the public’s view of their experiences — both good and bad, Singleton said.
