V.A. & R Challenge Coins Update
WAYS & MEANS COMMISSION

Bill Clapp, Area 4 Commissioner

     Thanks to everyone who has thus far made donations on behalf of the VA&R Challenge Coin program.  As of this article, I will have turned in to Department more than $8,500 dollars, well on our way to achieving our goal of $10,000.
     Challenge Coins are still available, 240 coins remaining. If you have not yet made a donation, I urge you to do so.  This is very important to the Department and our Veterans.
     To receive one, or more of these beautifully minted coins, just mail me a check, $15 dollars per coin.  Please add $3 dollars for mailing.  Make you checks payable to either the Department of California, or to me, and once received, I will get your coin(s) in the mail to you.  If coins are still available, I will have them at the Department Convention in Palm Springs.
      If you would like to pick your coin(s)at Convention, just E mail me at clappbill@yahoo.com.  I will reserve your coin(s) and you can pick them up at Convention.  Again, thanks to everyone for helping make this program a success.
