Maryland and Tennessee Chapters Working Together

When Bob Cook, president of Cumberland, MD, Chapter 172, wanted to help the victims of the recent fires in Tennessee, he called Charlie Hobbs, National Membership Chair and a member of Chattanooga, TN, Chapter 203. Cook wanted to donate $500. The Chattanooga chapter decided to match those funds.

Hobbs called Ron Seals, the sheriff of Sevier County, a supporter of all veterans. The chapter decided it would rather give the money directly to those in need, rather than donate to a general fund. Sheriff Seals said that one of his deputies had lost everything in the fire. Chapter 172 and Chapter 203 donated $1,000 to the Sevier County’s Sheriff Department.
