The California Office of Caregiving (Veterans Affairs), is undertaking a pilot study of an Online Class/Support Group for Caregivers. The class is for Veterans either serving as care givers or receivers. The Veteran must reside in California, southern Nevada, or Hawaii, and the care recipient must be suffering from TBI, PTSD, Dementia, or Doctor Diagnosed Memory Impairment.
Our last class must start by May 15. We are writing you in the hope that you might have a mechanism for posting the attached flyer on your web site, include the information in a newsletters, or email it to Veterans or their caregivers you think may have an interest..
Should you have any questions, or need additional information, please feel free to contact me via email or at the number below.
Thank you for your attention and consideration. Visit the Stanford University web-site, https://caregivers..stanford.edu/hl/hlMain,

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE GOLD STAR FAMILY LICENSE PLATES A REALITY
Attention all veterans and friends of veterans. We need your help to make Gold Star Family license plate a reality. $300,000 for start-up costs must be raised from private donations before the California Department of Motor Vehicles can begin producing Gold Star Family license plates so these families can honor their fallen sons, daughters, husbands, wives and others.
To date, we have received only $6,900 in donations. In spite of these difficult economic times we are asking that you find a way to donate to this most worthy and important cause. Whether you send a few dollars, a few hundred or a few thousand, all donations are welcome and will propel us to our goal. Your donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt and a thank you letter for your contribution. Donation forms are available on our website at www.calvet.ca.gov and clicking on Gold Star Family License Plate Fund or you can call us and we will mail one to you.
Memorial Day just passed, but its significance and sacredness never should, nor should we ever let the memory of our fallen drift away. We can think of no better way to both sanctify the sacrifice of our fallen heroes and honor the families whose lives were changed forever than by getting these Gold Star Family License plates produced.
For more information please contact Ted Puntillo at (916) 530-8300.
