The men and women who put themselves in harms way are our everyday hero's. We think about sending care packages during times of rife and the media is there when our soldiers come home. However, there is a story after the story. Laurie Turpin was introduced by Steve Steinway. Her organization helps Vets following their active service. 8.9 million Vets are receiving benefits. 1000 of those Vets live in Hendricks County and there is over 40 million dollars in benefits coming into the count from those Vets. Laurie helps fill out the paperwork for VA claims and pensions. There are also other benefits like the VA hospital and the Old Soldiers Home in Lafayette.
Welcome to Kevin Hill as our newest member and Kevin Spears will complete his two weeks by the night of our Year End Party. Happy to have them join us. 
The concert on the square was this weekend. I look forward to hearing more about how things went. We gave $10,000 to Sycamore Services this week. The money was raised from our annual golf outing. It was a great honor to be able to present the check to Pat Cockrum.
Ron will be at the helm this week.... be kind to him. Don't need him running for the hills before he starts his year. See you all in two weeks. Greg
