First day in the office for new Guadalupe County Veterans Service Officer By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Guadalupe County) -- Today is the first day on the job for Guadalupe County's new Veterans Service Officer. Appointed to fill that position is Nancy Russell. Russell was the top candidate for the job and selected by a county committee that included members of the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court.

Central Texas as a childcare coordinator and then also being co-founder with her husband and family of SS American Memorial. She just kind of filled all of the requirements and the needs for the position of Veterans Service Officer being experienced in paperwork and government documents and the needs of those folks but also having a deep desire and passion for wanting to help veterans really made her stand out from the others," said Kutscher.

“Our deadline this year is Dec. 10. It’s Tuesday for the deadline to receive applications. My agencies will probably finish by Monday, the 9th because on the 10th, we need to have them in our hands so I would not wait till the 10th to apply because I would make sure to go to one of the agencies and apply before the 10th. We are accepting applications for Blue Santa for any families in need with children under the age of 12,” said Vasquez.

“They do have to bring documents with them when they apply, a current photo ID or driver’s license with your name or address, proof of address, a utility bill or maybe a lease contract also they need to have two phone numbers. I know most of us, don’t have a home phone number anymore but cell phone numbers are acceptable but we do need two just in case one gets disconnected, we do need to get a hold of you. Some of the things that you need to bring is proof of income but if you receive any government assistance, Medicare, Medicaid, you are in the housing authority, WIC, the Lone Star, your children are receiving free food from the school district just bring us proof of that and we can accept that as part of your income and if you don’t have any of that, then we’ll see if you can meet the guidelines that we have for the income for the household,” said Vasquez.
