EDITORS: More than 30 employers and 500 National Guard soldiers and their families are expected at the Yellow Ribbon Career and Benefit Fair at Crater High School in Central Point on Sunday, July 11.
The job fair opens at 8 a.m. Senator Wyden, Gen. Mike Caldwell of the Oregon National Guard, employers and others will hold a press availability at 10:30 a.m. at the high school. This is the third of four Yellow Ribbon job fairs that will be held this summer. The job fairs are being held in response to the high unemployment rate among National Guard troops who recently returned from Iraq.
