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.
