Northern Chapter, please go ahead and bring things to the meeting this weekend to ship to deployed troops. I'll box things up and get it in the mail before the 15th. Thanks! Ruffian.

We are now on Facebook

I am not going to be closely monitoring this, but it's a public profile with photos. Friends can post.

All Patriots Run 2009

Well it's been another good run this year - we had great weather for the APR. It was a good time at Susie's, and our very own National Sgt-At-Arms won the 42" HDTV that was raffled off at the event. That was donated by the Denver West Best Buy. WOW!! So congrats to Short Round! Unfortunately, Ginger (from Susie's) was unable to be there due to an injury, and we wish her a speedy recovery and owe her great thanks for allowing our event there.

It was a beautiful trip through the canyons. We'll be looking to make the event just as enjoyable next year!

ALL PATRIOTS RUN COMING UP

This coming September 19th, which is also POW/MIA remembrance day, is the date we will have our annual All Patriots Run. The run is to benefit the Mountain States Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Please check our calendar for details.

The route has been specifically planned to enjoy the canyons and meadows of the foothills. We hope to see you there!

Spectre

We have learned that Spectre's son has been awarded the Bronze Star. Spectre, an officer himself, is rightfully so proud, and we are proud to stand behind him. In a turn of events, though, Spectre is possibly redeploying. We'll see. More later!

Long overdue Scatch update

Our brother Scatch is doing well. He has moved into a temporary housing situation that CVMA is gladly able to pay for. This has been made possible by the many donations, participation in events, and fundraiser sales. We are so glad to report that he is able to manage on his own pretty well and he is still getting help from home visitation from physical therapists and speech therapists. He was able to attend the July meeting, his first since before the accident.
THANK YOU, TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED MAKE CVMA'S FINANCIAL SUPPORT HAPPEN. THIS WEBMASTER COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF THIS ORGANIZATION AND ALL ITS SUPPORTERS.
Ruffian.
