The NAMI Far North (National Alliance on Mental Illness) regular monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 15, at 5:30 p.m. in the old Bonner General Health classroom, 520 N 3rd Ave, Sandpoint.

Mark Jones, attorney at law, working for Social Security Disability and Veteran’s Benefits, will be the featured speaker. Jones’ presentation will focus on how SSI and VA benefits work and the process involved.

It will be a very informative meeting including a Q&A session. Following the presentation there will be a support group session for those with mental illness and another support session for those who love them. All are welcome to this free meeting. Call (208) 597-2047 for further information.

While we have you ...

... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.

You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.
