The free event is Friday, Oct. 6, from 3-6 p.m. at Hol- iday Inn Express & Suites, 245 N. First St. Hermiston. A collaborative effort with the Umatilla/Morrow County Veterans Services, Elizabeth Estabrooks, Oregon Depart- ment of Veterans’ Affairs womens veterans coordina- tor, will be on and 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 com- missioned the project after hearing concerns from fe- male veterans. The goal is to increase awareness and dia- logue about women veterans and to enhance the public’s view of their experiences — both good and bad, Singleton said.
