CRYSTAL LAKE – Although its director was among five people indicted last month on federal charges tied to its operation, a local nonprofit organization serving veterans plans to have one of its biannual events Tuesday.

National Association of Systems Administrators Education’s handling of grants related to Stand Down was part of the basis for the charges, including allegations that employees fraudulently kept excess federal grant funds.

Stand Down provides veterans with food, clothing, consultation and networking opportunities. The free event will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at NASA Education’s corporate office, 3305 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake.
