It is with pleasure that I advise you all that the new pins have arrived. They are great looking and should be a welcome to all collectors and members of the association (see below). Thanks to Mr Dave Bawden and Sheba Imports for their assistance in designing and manufacturing of the pins.

With that being said, the new pins will be forwarded to paid up members this week. Along with the pins, members will receive a financial statement in hard copy. Ms Kristina Davis has worked very hard and diligently on this statement. Her dedication is truly appreciated.

A new patch is being designed in conjunction with the new Association pin. The design will reflect support for the Ride for Heroes as well as veterans. There are going to be two (2) separate patches. One will state "veterans" with a ribbon stating "in support of the Ride for Heroes", and a second one without the veterans banner. These will be produced in subdued green, for wearing with club vests, etc. Any person able to prove that they are in fact a "veteran" will be able to purchase the one patch, while others who cannot, will be able to support the associations Ride for Heroes with the second patch.

A northern Ride for Heroes is in the works at present. Mr Phil MacKinnon is presently working out the details, which will be published soonest. The support of everyone on this venture is greatly appreciated. To "Honour and Remember" our Heroes, is not only our motto, but our calling. Let’s all get on board and make this another successful event.

With the creation of the new Support Committee, consisting of Mr Paul Melonson, (East Coast), Mr Daniel Lynch, (Ottawa), Mr Del Blakney, (Kingston), Mr Bert Tops (London) and Mr Per Wallenius, (West Coast), a new line of communication has been established. Each and every one of these dedicated members bring experience and a desire for the growth of the association.

As you can see through the events calendar there is many different functions coming up. I hope that you will be able to make it out to some of these and have a great time. I hope to meet some of you there, and look forward to hearing from you not only in person but through the web page. Communications is needed and will help strengthen our goals and membership.

Enjoy this strangely warm weather and always remember to "Honour and Remember"

"The way ahead"
A message from Ron Donovan, president of CMPA

WITH SADNESS

 

It is with great sadness that we learn that Les Hessian passed away yesterday in a Brantford Hospital with his son David by his side. Les
first wife was Bev, and he (remarried) married to Louise about 6 month ago in Barrie. As far as funeral info, Les is currently at the Dennis Toll funeral home in Brantford. Les Is to be cremated with no viewing or funeral service. We expect Les will be buried at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa as Bev is buried there. For those of you who haven't been to Beechwood, Les and Bev's plot is right across from the plot of TC Rogers
