Mike is retired after a career in education as a teacher, Principal and an administrator in Jefferson County for over 20 years.  They also honor veterans, Mike is happy to see the earlier announcement regarding the National Wreaths Across America Day.  As a Principal, his school did an assembly honoring veterans for their service, this included his father and Mike’s father had mentioned it was the first time he had been thanked publicly for his service.

 

Mike then shows us a video of Van Stone’s comeback story, a victim of traumatic brain injury, in 2018.  Showed a video about this young man’s journey to getting back on the ice.  The organization is about more than giving a check, it’s about hope and changing the life of the recipient.  It is something that helps them and continues on with the program.

Mike Freeman is Executive Director from Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation.  In January of 2011, a small group of adult recreation league hockey players made a pledge to honor a fallen teammate by creating a very unique foundation focused on helping families in their time of need.  Utilizing a very successful strategy consisting of several annual fundraisers, they have provided financial support totaling nearly $2.0 million in direct aid to families!  From the weekend warrior recovering from a nasty injury or serious illness, to the grieving family that has lost a loved one, DAWG Nation is always there to help. Providing resources and countless amazing acts of human kindness, we have not only changed the lives of our recipients, but also the lives of our members as well.  Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation utilizes a 360° Support Model. This model looks at the needs families and individuals have beyond giving them a onetime check. This could include financial counseling, legal support, home repairs or modifications, mental health support, housing, transportation, adaptability and accessibility, mentoring, scholarships, support networks for veterans, and creating intentional emotional and community support.

Do we have a drawing?  $60 in the pot. Jack of s is the lucky card.  Larry Pulaski takes the first cup, Mike White takes a cup, Oscar Sorenson also takes a cup, Alan Malask and Dave Peck takes a cup, Allen Malask takes another cup, Gary Strowbridge takes a card.  Tom Kramis draws the name Tom Mauro from the plastic jug but no luck this week. 

 

We rise with Craig Eley as he leads us in the creed.
