Additionally, Juanita from Chapter 739 ALR Indio California attended our meeting to present a donation from her chapter to support Palm Springs Powers Veterans Night. Furthermore, at our Memorial Day Ceremony, David Harrison from Chapter 428 ALR Banning California presented us with a donation for Palm Springs Powers Veterans Night, as well as a check for our contributions during the Tour De' Palm Springs.
