A message from the MVC President

Although Covid isn’t in the rearview mirror YET, the vaccine is having a positive impact and hopefully soon we will be back to normal.  Moving in that direction. . .

We are hosts for the Tri-Chapter Rally (June 27th, arrival, to July 1, departure) in Gillette prior to the FMCA National Convention. These Tri-Chapter Rallies have been so much fun, you won’t want to miss this repeat event.  The cost of the rally is $300 for two people in a coach. You can see more details AND register here https://mvc-fmca.weebly.com/events.html.  The Rally is at the same location as the Convention. You can make arrangements to stay at the CAM-PLEX through to the start of the Convention on July 7th through the FMCA office & registration.

We will be holding our annual meeting at the Convention in Gillette. This is an election year. If you like how the chapter is operating and want to see it continue or if you think that the chapter needs to take on new activities, run for office and help the chapter. Contact Marty McMahon at memmjr@gmail.com

The Chapter has made financial contributions to three organizations that support veterans.

·         American Legion Post 178 in Grove, OK nominated by Lyanna McKenney. They support Veterans with food, clothing, housing, funeral expenses, transportation etc. Their most recent project was to repair a World War II veteran’s home so he could continue to live independently.

·         Strait Ministries nominated by Richard Strait. They support Veterans by providing assistance, seminars, and classes to Veterans and their families who are struggling with the impacts of war and PTSD.

·         Mutts with a Mission nominated by Melody Thomas. They train dogs for Veterans, wounded warriors and first responders who have experienced line-of-duty injuries or PTSD.

I believe that our support of these organizations will bring relief to Veterans experiencing difficult times.  Keep your eyes and ears open for organizations in your area that you might nominate in the future!

See you in Gillette. Stay safe and thank you for your service.
