Mick Shepard is no stranger to Prescott.
Born here in 1953, he is a first-person eyewitness to the happenings of the place we now call Everybody’s Hometown. Mick will strap guests into his time machine and take them on a trip to relive his memories of ‘the greenest apples, fastest sneakers, and greatest summers that ever bloomed’.
People say you can never go back…but Mick (who is incidentally married to talented, local television host, Sandy Moss) claims that ‘it’s all there in the back pocket of your heart!’
So join the Phippen Museum on Thursday, October 19th, 2017 at 5:30PM as they present this nostalgic program that includes a delicious dinner by Big Daddy E’s Smokin’ Barbeque. In addition, a special slide show presentation will also accompany this entertaining conversation. The price is $25 for museum members and $30 for guests. But make your reservation today because seating is always limited for these very popular dinner events.
The Phippen Museum is located only a few minutes north of downtown Prescott, Arizona, at 4701 Highway 89 North. For additional information on this or any other event at the museum, please call (928)778-1385, or visit their website at www.phippenartmuseum.org.

Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.![]()

In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.![]()

“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”![]()

Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. ![]()
