Warrior Songs Spokane, the local branch of Warrior Songs Inc., is sponsoring "The Welcome: A Public Listening" at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 9. The event will consist of stories, songs, poetry and paintings by veterans. It is the culmination of a four-day Veteran Healing Retreat using the creative arts.
