New Challenge Coin available!

These Coins will be available shortly and will be sold so that all proceeds over cost and shipping will be put into the kitty for the reunion fund.

You can order them from me directly, but you must prepay with your order. The coins individually are given for a donation of $20 or more towards the slush fund, refreshment kitty. Multiple coin purchases are acceptable (like buying a few for gifts for your brother Red Lions) and for those that may not be able to come to the August Reunion.

If you have any questions just contact me. We will work out what works for all of us.

The coins are 1.5 inches in diameter, the same size as the standard older silver dollars.

Update On The Challenge Coins

"They're in and ready to be sent out or picked up at the reunion in San Diego. If you donate $20 or more to the Hospitality Suite Fund you will receive one coin. If you wish more coins please contact me and I'll put together a packaged deal for each order. All proceeds after initial cost and s/h/p goes into the Squadron Reunion Fund"
