Fair Winds and Following Seas

We wish “Fair Winds and Following Seas” to April Pinch-Keeler on her retirement after over 30 years leading our sister organization, MVLE.
Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services is honored to join other members of the Fedcap Group in recognizing her years of service. April, and her staff always serve MVLE with great grace and professionalism.
April is recognized for her support of our work and her finding innovative ways to integrate veterans, and those touched by military service, into MVLE’s services.
Thank you, April. We are all better for knowing you and for your mentorship.
