At the 7-20-14 VFW Post 12118 meeting a representative from the Sports Pub, Vietnam Veteran Don Shand, donated a $600.00 check to the VFW for Support the Troops Care Packages.
The funds were raised by the Sports Pubs annual Hot Rods and Harleys Poker Run held the second Saturday of June each year. The poker run idea was hatched by Sports Pub owner Micki Phillips and friend Charity Maness, both Ladies Auxiliary members, in an effort to raise funds specifically for Support the Troop Care Packages. Quickly, folks jumped in to help, organizing, advertising, etc, all to make sure that those serving overseas received a little love from home.
This year's Poker Run ran to San Andreas, Murphys, Tuttletown, Jamestown and back to Copper. Approximately 60 poker run enthusiasts participated.
