A virtual open mic event is planned for Pride Month by the Walla Walla VA Medical Center.

The public is invited to drop in and watch Thursday, June 24, from 6-7 p.m. The virtual event will be shared via Webex by logging in at https://bit.ly/VAWWOpenMic.

In addition, for those interested in participating, organizers are seeking poets, dreamers, and performers for the event — a person does not have to identify as LGBTQ+ to participate. People can read, sing, tell stories, play an instrument or share other talents. The VA is dedicated to providing an environment of inclusion and hopes people will join in the fun of sharing their unique talents with each other.

Those interested in performing are asked to RSVP Heather Owens at heather.owens3@va.gov or 509-525-5200, extension 27179. For additional details, search the Walla Walla VA’s Facebook page or contact Linda Wondra, Walla Walla VA’s public affairs officer, at 509-386-1117 or linda.wondra@va.gov.
