In the true Cav spirit, four members of the Northwest Chapter stepped forward at the Christmas meeting to take board positions that were being vacated with no identified replacements. Without the minimum number of board members, the Northwest Chapter would have ceased to exist. But now, thanks to these Troopers, the 1CD Northwest Chapter lives on! Our board members for 2020 - 2022 are: President – Gail Porter Vice President – Clayton Waldron Secretary – William Jackson Treasurer – William Jackson Chaplain – Doug Coles William would certainly appreciate someone stepping up for Secretary, as he is already the Treasurer and could use some help. Meetings will continue on even months at Carr’s restaurant. It’s in Tacoma at 11006 Bridgeport Way. The meeting starts at noon, but the camaraderie begins soon as you get there!
