Chokum Chingos = Little Friends
When the
Pup Tent was first organized, it was decided that we were the smallest and
newest Pup Tent within the Grand so let's just face up to it. We will be the
Little Ones and friends to all. Today we see ourselves in a far different light.
We are and strive to be the best friends to all but we also say we are little
but the biggest workers of the Grand.
Institution of the Pup Tent was accomplished on the 7th of December 1991. The
installing Officer was then Grand Commander Lou Harmon. The original membership
was 30 Charter Members. Since 1991 the membership goal of 100% set by Supreme
has been met and exceeded to the point that membership in 2001 was at 56. Over
the past 10 years over 41 members have either answered the Final Roll Call,
transferred or just dropped out.
The dedicated service and efforts of the membership has resulted in the
completion of all programs and projects of the Grand and Supreme. Goals as set
forth were met and/or exceeded and in some cases by more than 100%. In 1998 The
Chingos initiated the Paddy Daddy Program to assist the Grand in the Special
Projects Program.
Each year a Membership picnic is held with the families in attendance. The
results of this event bring a large increase in support from the families toward
the activities undertaken by the members. This support exemplifies the current
motto of "Together". On the subject of motto "Keep Them Smiling in Beds of
White" Support of the Old Folks Handicap Home is proof we do. The membership
roll proves we cause VFW members to "Take Backward Steps".
