[Events] My recommendation for a charity for the April 20th fund raiser

Thu Feb 14 10:48:12 EST 2013

Thanks for the suggestion, Alice. Avet is a great organization, and this
will be tough because there are many worthy causes to choose from. I have
two requests going forward:

1)      Going forward, please do not notify prospective charities as it
might create ill will on the part of those not chosen.

2)      Please direct all correspondence to the events at brevardteaparty.com
email list so all relevant parties receive it.

Thanks to everyone for all your hard work. I'd like to have a list of
prospects to discuss and possibly vote on for the next meeting. 

In liberty,

Matt Nye

Subject: My recommendation for a charity for the April 20th fund raiser

Dear Tea Party friends,  I'm excited about the event in April, and I hope
you will all get to know more about the great work with veterans that AVET
does in Brevard.  I have been one of their many volunteers for years.  They
are helpful for homeless vets; distressed vets; disabled vets; uninformed
vets; vets who need services they can't get on their own, etc.  

They work with wounded warriors and have received accolades from the County
and the State for their work.   In fact, just recently, they received one of
the top honors in the State.

Their office is in Patrick Air Force Base.  Garren Cone is a disabled
vet,and his wife are "the salt of the earth". They are the most dedicated
and hardest working couple I've ever seen for vets.    Bill Posey sings
their accolades, and accommodates them often. He and Katie were at a 2nd
World War ceremony a month or so ago, when a man from Orlando was honored.

I am copying the Cones with this message and hope they will get back to you
with their credentials.

We have soooooooo many vets in Brevard and I do believe they alll would like
to come out to our event in April and enjoy the food and support us and the
AVET project. (They also love to eat!)

Every vet I've met here (and that has been A LOT! are conservative and on
the same page with us, and LOVE the 2nd amendment....and hate the direction
our 'leaders' are taking America).

Please give the AVET project your utmost consideration.They would benefit us
as much as visa versa.

I wish I could say more, but have an 11: appt. in Cocoa Bch., so gotta run.

The Cones will give you their contact info.

The other organizations that some of you brought up last night are grant
recipients of large $$$$$$ grants (from the Gannett Foundation (to the tune
of $5.3 mill) and get $$$$$ from a variety of other sources, including our
own tax money!

AVET is truly a great 501C3, which gets NO grant $$.

They could use your help....and would help broaden our base of invites.
The Cones have a vast database and could also man a table with info.  They
are involved in many events such as this....and they are CONSERVATIVES!

Sincerely,  Alice Kreitz

Please forward this to Eric Hoppenbrouwer; Corina, Liz, and any others whom
I do not have in my contact list..
