The Suburban Ramsey County Beyond the Yellow Ribbon (BTYR) Committee continues its work. Volunteers are taking the lead in creating a network of support for service members and their families. Alison Bibeau is serving as the Steering Committee Chair. Bibeau’s family knows firsthand about the hardships a military family faces. Her husband Major Jeffrey Bibeau has been deployed twice, serving in Bosnia in 2003 and Iraq in 2008-09.

Please join us at our next meeting the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm at Roseville City Hall. Everyone is welcome.

A Yellow Ribbon Community unites to create a comprehensive network that connects and coordinates agencies, organizations and resources to support Servicemembers and military families.

Through this program, we will create awareness and connect Servicemembers and their families to these community support, training, services and resources. Services can range from the simple – shoveling a sidewalk to the more complex - helping a family member apply for benefits or find a job. Log on to the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon website for information about types of support you could offer. Whether you can help on a one-time project or volunteer regularly, we need your help.
