The Cruisin’ for Kids annual toy run was held on December 12,
2015. It began at Harley-Davidson in Hammond. Traveling to
the second stop which was at the Shell Station located at the
intersection of Hwy 51 and I-10. Next was a cruise over the spill
way and down Hwy 61 to Zephyr Field. Then onto Children’s
Hospital in New Orleans to drop off all of the toys that were
donated. Finally, the run ended in Harahan at Kamp Bar &
Restaurant which was a great location to celebrate the holidays
in true Louisiana style, with a plate of red beans and rice!

CVMA Delta Poker Run
I’m not sure where to begin. Thanks to so many that
helped organize the CVMA Delta Poker Run. Thanks to
the vendors, business community, and Individuals that
donated door prizes, auction items and cash donations.
A special thanks to our Auxillary Members that worked
so hard organizing the event. Thanks to the members
that prepared the red beans, rice and sausage. Also
thanks to the Wildlife Tavern, Winnfield, Bobbie’s Bar,
Tullos, AMVETS POST 7, VFW POST 1736, and
the Community Living Center, and VA Hospital in
Pineville for hosting our stops. We had a great turn out
with representation from so many Organizations, Clubs.
Independent Groups, Private Riders and others. The
Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association is focused on
helping Veterans. As a result of this event we had over 60
bikes register with 78 participants. As we traveled today
we also had several other bikes and participants support
this great cause. Again, thanks to each and every one
that made this event a success. We raised approximately
$3200.00. We are a non profit association and 100% of
this money supports various Veterans Groups, Facilities,
Organizations, and Individuals in the Central Louisiana
area. God Bless each of you. “Vets Helping Vets”
