... And from an email just received from WhiteFish:

This was just posted on the Enos Forum by Chuck Anderson:

The Columbia Cascade Section is running two charity matches in August. The first is at Albany Rifle and Pistol Club on August 9th. The second will be at Tri-County Gun Club in Sherwood, OR on August 17th. All the proceeds of both matches will go to Tim Holm and his family.

Tim is a long time USPSA competitor. His daughter just joined our CCS Junior Program as well. Tim was involved in a motorcycle crash earlier this month and was pretty badly injured. His most severe injury is a broken neck. He has been in the ICU for about the last three weeks and still does not have any feeling below mid chest. Tim will require long term rehabilitation and he's going to need some help.

The entry fee will be $20.00 for each match. We'll be selling stage mulligans as well. If you screw a stage up, try it again. We'll also have a silent auction or two as well as maybe some other goodies we're still working on. Also at the Albany match, I'll bring my M-16 and Glock 18 for a little full auto fun.

All the proceeds from these matches will go to Tim's family. And I mean all of it. We'll have info up on the section website soon at www.columbia-cascade.org. Attached is the flier for the match. [ED: the information is already available at that link, and the flier is reproduced above.] Please come out and help us raise some money to help Tim out. If you have any questions, my email and number are on the flier.


Chuck is the Competition Director at CCS, and although he doesn't say so here he is also a Law Enforcement Officer. Also, he is the guy who typically solicits Sponsorship for Major Matches in the section in excess of $100,000 for prize tables.

He is obviously very persuasive. If you can make it to either of these two matches, I suggest you be there with your Double-Sawbuck in hand.

Come to think of it, Chuck looks like a fireplug with a head, only bigger. Much bigger. He's very intimidating. You might consider competing in both matches.
