The Mission Moves Forward

Where my quilts will be going:

To Deputy Chief of Police in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, Stephen G. Xiarhos

Deputy Chief Xiarhos lost his son Nick to the fighting in Afghanistan.  Nick was a Marine, and ever since his death, in addition to his official duties with our local police department, Deputy Chief Xiarhos has been a dedicated advocate for active-duty service personnel and veterans from all branches of the military.

He told me, if I get the quilts to him, he will get them to veterans.  He gave me a few options - veterans that are homeless, veterans in nursing homes, veterans in V.A. hospitals, to Gold Star Families, or, that the quilts could be raffled off as part of his "Big Nick's Ride For The Fallen" (2015) which is held every July, with the proceeds going to our local high school's scholarship fund.

2016 Big Nick's Ride For The Fallen
2017 Big Nick's Ride For The Fallen

Nick was a good friend of my son's, and as such, my father knew all about Nick and his Sacrifice.

Thank you, Deputy Chief Xiarhos, I hope to have these quilts to you quickly.

UPDATE: June 13, 2016 Quilts 2 and 3 are received by Deputy Chief Stephen G. Xiarhos for presenting to Veterans of his choice. Thank you!! Deputy Chief Xiarhos!
