PGR Presents Funds

South Texas Patriot Guard Riders, along with Jersey's owners and staff, came out to Carla's to present the proceeds from the Chile Cookoff. A total of $2500 was raised to benefit the troops. Jersey's owner Mike wrote the check and presented to Dan of the PGR, who later presented it to our project. The riders had a chance to see where we work and learn more about our operation. Norma Martinez came out and covered the event for the Rockport Pilot and took a picture of everyone. DiAnne, Carla, Frances and Jimmie had fun sitting on the big bikes.

Chile Cookoff for the Troops

On Jan. 16 a Tolbert Chile Cookoff was held at Jersey's Bar and Grill to raise money for our troops project. The Patriot Guard Riders headed up the sponsors; lots of good chile was cooked and sold; contributions and an auction garnered more $$. Active duty military and many retired and ex-military came out to lend support.
