Group
Dear Ladies,
Thank You, Thank
You, to those ladies who spent their Saturday morning with us
at the Omaha Reunion. We try our best to make our time together not only
informative, but
entertaining as well and you let us know that we accomplished that goal.
Marguerite, our Treasurer, explained our income and expenditures for the year.
Our “Woman of the Year”award was given to Linda Bailey, for her years of service
to the Blackhorse Women's Group and the Prayer Shawl Project. Thank You to Don Snedeker, our
11th ACVVC Historian and guest speaker for another very entertaining podcast
production on
“Ladies of the Blackhorse – 1902-2024 “. We hope to see you all in Tulsa in
2025.
The purpose of our group is to support our Troopers, as well as our Ladies. The
following
projects help us do that -
“Time Away” - That may be a bus tour destination; or just lunch out in the
reunion city.
Saturday Morning Gathering - Ladies, family members and your reunion guests are
welcome to attend our
meeting, while our Troopers are in their business meeting.
Supporting the 11th ACVVC Scholarship Fund with a donation from our Fundraising
efforts.
Thank You to all the Ladies and Trooper that volunteered at our Fundraising
Table. And to those who supported us with a purchase or donation, Thank You! We
were able to donate a generous amount this year to the Scholarship Fund.
Wreaths Across America - Each year the Women's Group purchases 21 Wreaths in
honor of 21 11th ACR KIA's who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery . Pam &
Allen Hathaway represent us there.
Prayer Shawl Project - Remembering one of our own, Trooper or spouse, at their
passing, (if we are informed), by sending a prayer shawl or lap robe to a family
member. If you knit or crochet, and would like to help us with this project,
please contact Sheryl or Marguerite.
Remembering Our KIA's Scrapbook – Allen Hathaway has helped us present our
Scrapbook
digitally. Please visit our Blackhorse Women's Group page on-line at
11thcavnam.com
and visit our scrapbook of pictures of those KIA's who have been honored by a
visit to their
gravesite by one of our 11th ACVVC family. Please help us honor all 730. Please
contact
Sheryl for more information.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are suffering and in need, as a
result of hurricane Helene.
