November 16, 2008, may prove to be one of the busiest and rewarding days that the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) Southern Colorado Chapter has tried to pull off.
We will meet at the Western Omelet (16 South Walnut Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80905) for breakfast, coffee or just to get warm. At 8:30 AM we will depart for the Colorado State & Veterans Nursing Home (903 Moore Drive, Florence, CO 81226). If you have never visited a veterans home, CVMA believes that you are in for one of the most heart felt and soul searching events you will have. Our visit will conclude with the presentation of a $1,000.00 check that will be used for their individual personal needs. Upon departure we will return to the Western Omelet to retrieve vehicles.
Our next stop will be the Crazy Horse Bar & Grill (18600 US Highway 24, Peyton, CO 80831) for a steak dinner fund raiser for one of our members in need after an accident. We will start around 3:00 PM. On October 5, 2008, the member was injured in a crash that killed an Oklahoma man and woman near Springfield, CO. According to police, a passenger car was heading North on Highway 287 late at night when it crossed the center line and crashed head on into the member's semi truck. His truck was totaled and because the crash is still under investigation the insurance company has done nothing for him or his family. With a wife who is sick, his own injuries to deal with and his source of income destroyed, our Brother needs our best joint efforts.
