In 2007, the “Caring for America”
outreach program of the Washington County
Republican
Women established a scholarship at Dixie College to
provide financial assistance with college expenses for our soldiers who
have served in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Funding for the scholarship
has come from donations and the sale of posters developed with the
National Guard.
These mosaic posters were created from pictures taken by the historic 2nd Battalion, 222nd Field
Artillery unit of the Utah National Guard while on duty in the
middle-east. Later this spring, members of the Washington County
National Guard unit will once again be deployed to the middle-east.
To raise additional funds for the
scholarships and to honor our service members, the
Washington County Republican Women and the National Guard will be
hosting a 5k/10k FREEDOM RUN at
the Confluence Trail Head on
Saturday, March 13, 2010. Pre-registration and check-in is at 8:00AM.
The Opening Ceremonies will begin at 8:30AM and the 5k/10k walk/run
begins at 9:00AM. Cost is $10 Youth, $15 Adult (pre-registered) or $15
Youth, $20 Adult (after 3/8/10).
All proceeds from the FREEDOM RUN go
toward scholarships at Dixie College for
veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan and
their spouses. For more details and to pre-register, call Carmen Snow
at 435-673-2214 or email
Carmen at csnow@beyondbb.com.
COME RUN WITH
A SERVICE MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL GUARD!
|
Three Washington County Republican women are combining their common interests to provide a very special service to a time honored group of men in Washington County, the men of the 2nd Battalion, 222nd Field Artillery unit of the Utah National Guard – The Triple Deuce.
Susan Recknagel was raised in a military home, her father was a career serviceman; Colleen Willis is married to a former serviceman; and, Wilma Courtney’s husband is retired from the military and they have a grand daughter presently serving in the military. All three women also enjoy quilting together.
These three women have combined their love of quilting and their honor and respect for those who serve this nation in the making of a Patriotic Quilt for which the Washington County Republican Women (WCRW) will hold a drawing on June 3rd. The proceeds from ticket sales go into a scholarship at Dixie College for members of the National Guard who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. The scholarship, established in 2007 by the WCRW, has served three National Guardsmen, all of whom have gone into the medical field. This year the criteria for scholarship recipients will be expanded to include the spouses of these military servicemen.
The Washington County Republican Women are honored to serve those who serve our national so willingly. Quilt tickets are available from members of WCRW or visit our website: www.washingtoncountyrepublicanwomen.org for more information. |
