Tim Holm - Part II

Last month we told you about an Oregon L.E.O. who was severely injured in an accident. The Columbia Cascade Section of USPSA invited all members to send a card or letter to Tim in the hospital, expressing their wishes for a speedy recovery.

The section also established a series of Tim Holm Benefit Matches, all proceeds to be donated to Tim's famil for their maintenance while he is laid up.

This week the Section Secretary published the results of those efforts:

Thanks to all who participated in the Tim Holm Benefit matches. We made approx $4000.00 for Tim with the matches. Tim still has a long road ahead of him with Rehab.

It's significant that not only did the participants in these matches participated in record numbers, but they gave up the "extra" match fees which are intended to pay auxiliaries to tear down the stages at the end of the match. They still paid the fees, but they did their own stage tear-down.

Activities such as this are the hallmark of strong volunteer organizations who are interested in more than simply spending a nice day at the range.

The host clubs also contributed their normal fees, including the cost of material.

EVERY cent of income from these matches went to the cause of supporting a wounded brother.

Accolades to the good people at the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club (ARPC), and the Tri-County Gun Club (TCGC).
