One person can make a difference.  The Hero Program in Quartzsite, Arizona is a local effort to raise money for projects that benefit our veterans.  One of those making a difference is Pamela Caskey (Pamela.Caskey@gmail.com), raised money for their local Hero Program by raffling a one-of-a-kind basket that she made.  This basket is woven with grasses, includes walnut shells, beads and the center is a metal that reads “THANK YOU FOR SERVING.”  Sherry helped by buying some raffle tickets while we were at the QIA Gem & Mineral show, and SHE WON! Sherry is a veteran herself, 14 years in the United States Air Force.  So, while a veteran won the basket, the veterans win as well, through the Hero Program.

Thank you, Pamela for your donation.  Pamela’s baskets will be displayed and available for purchase at the Death Valley Chamber of Commerce Annual Spring Art Show held at the Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley National Park, Saturday and Sunday, March 12-13.  Sherry and I will be there as well.

PS The wildflowers should be awesome this year.
