Yvonne Lucas
The world of drag racing can offer a unique opportunity to reach people in all walks of life and give back in a way that supports our communities. Yvonne Lucas will have the privilege to give back in a special way June 29th as a guest at the 2013 Women Veteran Summit taking place at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center in Tacoma, WA.
This free conference provides women veterans with information about opportunities for women veterans who can face challenges. The conference is hosted by the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs and is committed to provide benefits, services and programs that help our veterans.
“I contacted the WDVA in hopes that I could help them get the word out through my travels and the people I meet in drag racing about the exceptional work they do. It’s an exciting time for women in the military and as we see more serve and come home the challenges they face should be recognized,” stated Yvonne. The agency provides leadership and support for the delivery of statewide veterans’ services. The Women Veteran Summit is an annual event focused on our female veterans.
“I was thrilled to be invited to participate and it is truly an honor to be a part of this Summit. I look forward to assisting the WDVA in giving our military servicewomen a glimpse of what I do and the exciting world of drag racing.” If you are a veteran or family member in the area, we looked forward to seeing you at there!
I commend Yvonne for being unselfish with her time, very nice deal. It is refreshing to see these good deeds happening in the world considering all of the negative things that is reported day to day.
Sincerely, Paul
