The Chapter Welcomes its Newest Corporate Member  

Noreen Good and Associates has become the newest local business  

to join the ranks of the chapter's corporate members.  We welcome

this great therapeutic massage center and encourage all of our

individual members to patronize this firm if in need of its

services.  The number of local businesses and other organizations

earning the title of "Friends of the Soldier" continues to grow. 

You may access the websites of these new members by clicking

on the company names on the Corporate Corner Tab of this website.

Of particular note in story is the fact that the chapter's only Navy

member, Retired Navy Captain, Rudy Falkenstein, is personally

responsible for this new member.  Since joining our chapter,

Rudy has recruited more than his share of businesses to our

corporate member ranks.  If our Amy members, especially our

Board of Directors, were nearly as productive we could run our

corporate membership to more than 100.

CB/CV Chapter's Corporate Member, Gabler Trucking

Hosts a Wounded Warrior Trout Fishing Outing

The event took place at the Gabler Family Property.  It began about 0900 on 20 April with coffee and donuts provided. The warriors fished until about noon.  Lunch was served to all in attendance and fishing resumed after lunch until about 1600. There were 8 Wounded Warriors.  As Eric Wertz, a Gabler employee and member of the chapter board, said,  the Gablers were the hosts and underwrote the costs.  Eric is to be commended for his coordination with Darv Stutz of Healing Waters.  Darv coordinated with Healing Waters to get the warriors there and provide guides.  Some local fishermen also assisted the warriors. The Commander of LEAD, Col Vic Hagen,  attended with MSG Joe Shaul. This event was spectacular.  This happened as a result of the Gabler Family, Eric, Darv and the other local companies that provided the goodie bags.  The Gablers are very gracious, generous and sincere people.  Among those in attendance were: Chip Gabler & his wife, Pam; Chuck Gabler, Tom Gabler, Ben Gabler.  Ken (Gabler operations/dispatcher) and Eric Wertz, Gabler Business Development.  Great people, running a great company who are very community minded.  We are fortunate to have them as corporate members.
