**HOTH MISSION** HEARTS OF HOPE PAINTING EVENT SUNDAY JAN 14, 2018 12 NOON PORTLAND CT

**HOTH MISSION**
HEARTS OF HOPE PAINTING EVENT
12 NOON TO 3PM (ISH)
PORTLAND PICNIC GROUNDS
84 INDIAN HILL AVE
PORTLAND, CT 06480
 
 
When the PGR attends a funeral mission, the family receives a plaque and a challenge coin from the PGR. They also receive a “Heart” painted by a volunteer.
Currently PGR is running low on our supply of “Hearts” and we are looking for your assistance in our resupply effort. 
 
Hearts of Hope is a  501(c)(3)  pay it forward organization that believes in “Creating Hope, One Heart at a Time”. It is a small token of comfort given to families during a difficult time in their lives. 
 
The “Heart” is a 4 inch clay heart that has been fired and is ready for painting in any way that you would like. There will also be “coloring Book Hearts” for those who say they cant paint.  There is a pre-painted pattern in the shape of a heart and you only need to color it. All supplies for painting and coloring will be provided. Donations will be accepted to help cover the costs of the event. 
 
Join us for an afternoon of fun and friendship to resupply the CT PGR supply of Hearts. Spend as much time as you would like to. 
 
Pattie Ptak will oversee the painting project. 
 
So join us between 12 noon and 3pm at the Picnic Grounds, 84 Indian Hill Av  Portland, CT  ( Where we have our summer picnic).
 
God Bless America, Our Troops, and Our First Responders.

Thank You re: Wreaths Across America

December 16, 2017 by

Today was an amazing day… The 10th anniversary of the Wreaths Across America Event at CT State Veterans Cemetery, and the First time that we have covered the entire cemetery with a Wreath at each resting place that was able to receive a Wreath. There was quite a bit of preparation leading up to this day. With the fundraising by various people and groups, the volunteers that helped unload the tractor trailers when the wreaths arrived in Middletown, and the volunteers that re-loaded the wreaths onto the trucks for transport to the cemetery and the volunteers who again unloaded the trucks and distributed the wreaths to the appropriate cemetery sections. There seems to be a theme here…. Volunteers. Without the Volunteers that assisted these past months, the outcome certainly could have been different. A lot of time and effort was expended leading up to this day.

Then the placement of Wreaths on the Veterans final resting place….. Again it took an army of volunteers to do that as well. The final result was was nothing short of amazing.

A huge Thank You to the members of the CT PGR, NL MC Club, and various other groups and individuals who came out and stood the flag line and to the first timers, we hope to see you on future flag lines.

Wishing you the happiest of Holidays, and a Safe Happy and Healthy New Year…..
