A lot of you are unable to make the meetings and we often forget to point out all the things we do in this newsletter (more than there is room to fit in). This year, our Relief Fund bought $3,500 in gift cards. There were distributed to the Veterans Home in Orting ($1,000), the Veterans Home in Retsil ($1,000), and the Chaplains offices at Coast Guard District 13, Joint Base Lewis McChord, and Naval Station Everett ($500 each). We helped a lot of needy veterans and active military families. Thanks to everyone who helped with Poppies which provided the funds.
