Chapter H January 2010 Meeting

Saturday, January 9th, 2010 GWTA Chapter H, in Des Moines, Iowa had its first meeting of the decade. Newly elected Chapter Directors Pam & Bob Beverage presided over the meeting. This meeting was also special, because, for the 3rd year Chapter H has put together polar fleece blankets for Operation First Response. The blankets are made with two pieces of fabric and tied around the edges.

Operation First Response is a national organization formed to support our nation's wounded and injured armed forces Hero's with personal and financial needs. One of the first ways Operation First Response greets our soldiers is with a backpack containing a change of clothes, travel size hygiene products, a handmade blanket and a phone card.

Our meeting included some local business, discussion on our 2010 summer riding schedule and finished with a potluck dinner.
