VETERANS day WEEKEND 3 GUN benefit SHOOT
Co-hosted by Major Waldron Sportsmen’s Association and
Pioneer Sportsmen Club
HELP US SUPPORT
New Hampshire Military and Their Families
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO THE CHAPLAIN EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND

NH Guard
.
"Its purpose is straightforward, to ask for your help in supporting the active duty, Reserve and National Guard servicemen and women of New Hampshire and their families."
  • SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10 – action SHOTGUN AND RIFLE competition
    MAJOR WALDRON Sportsmen’s ASSOCIATION BARRINGTON, nh
  • SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11 – idpa/steels handgun competition
    Pioneer sportsmen Club, Dunbarton, NH
It remains as shocking today as when I first learned that when our National Guard and Reserve members are activated for deployment their families are often forced into the additional sacrifice of trying to maintain their daily routines but on the significantly lower income of military pay.  Increased heating cost, emergency repairs for homes or autos - handling such issues alone, absent the support of a deployed spouse is one thing.  Attempting to manage on significantly less income because the spouse is fulfilling their military service obligation to our country is a sacrifice our service families should not have to make.  It is unconscionable that no form of relief exists except for private donations through private charitable organizations such as the CHAPLAIN EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND. 

 
The CHAPLAIN EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND (CERF) was created to provide quick, temporary financial help for military members and their families facing financial need. The CHAPLAIN EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND is managed by volunteer trustees, all New Hampshire Army or Air National Guard Chaplains.  Because it is administered directly by the Chaplains, expenses are minimal (stationary, stamps, annual filing fees) allowing at least 99.5% of all monies received to go directly to families for emergency assistance for items such as rent, mortgage, home heating fuel, utilities, etc.  CERF is a private, not for profit fund registered with the IRS as Tax-Exempt under 501c3 (ID# 02-0445602).   Again, CERF operates with minimal overhead – no trustee or administrative salaries, no dedicated offices, no places for donations to be diverted from their intended purpose.
.
To assist CERF’s necessary mission, members of Major Waldron’s Sportsmen’s Association  and of the Pioneer Sportsmen Club (Barrington and Dunbarton, NH, respectively) are joining together to host a fund-raiser on Veteran’s Day weekend (hence, Task Force 11-11).  Both organizations enjoy in their respective membership many veterans as well as current Reserve and Guard people, and   both associations believe there is no more important effort at hand than to send a strong message in support of our own troops and their families.  ALL proceeds go to CERF and, again, at least 99.5% of the funds CERF receives end up in the hands of the service families who need our help. We are asking for you to show your support for them by supporting CERF. 
.
The Pease-based 157th Air Refueling Wing is a most visible reminder of the commitment of the New Hampshire Guard to all Americans.  Their mission is ongoing and they provide refueling operations in the North Atlantic corridor servicing the fighter wings engaged in fly-over security for Boston, New York City and the northeast.  They help keep your airspace safe.  Additionally, the 157th’s ground security element has experienced multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
