Beth with Lori’s Place in Sierra Vista was our guest speaker this week. If you didn’t know this organization was available, you will be surprised at what an impact they make on our community and surrounding counties helping children and adults of abuse. Their mission is to compassionately support and promote the wellbeing of children and adult victims through comprehensive services in a neutral environment. This is the only center in our county that offers these unique services to include forensic interviews, medical assistance, crisis response to schools and so much more. It is important to offer these services, especially since victim numbers are on track to double from last year. Thank you Lori’s Place and your team of volunteers to bring a bit of peace of mind to those suffering. ... See more

Heather Hocker, president and founder, of Gold Star Mothers of Cochise County was back again for to present an update and highlights of the Woody Williams Medal of Honor monument that will be located in the Southern Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery. Each panel of the monument signifies a different tribute – homeland, family, patriot and sacrifice. They are still looking for donations for the memorial, but the dedication will be on October 5th. This organization offers so much more than a tribute, as it offers grief support, help with emergency financial needs of member families of fallen soldiers, retreats, and access to additional services. Such a great program. Thank you Heather, we appreciate you and are proud to be a sponsor of this organization. If you’re interested in donating, please contact Heather at hockersmom@cox.net or visit the official page http://hwwmohf.org/cochise-cty-az.html. ... See more
