| Our chapter regularly
contributes to programs at the Douglas County Sheriff's Department,
the agency responsible for all local law enforcement in the Carson Valley
area. For example, we have donated money for the Sheriff's Canine Program,
the Sheriff's Chaplaincy Program to help fund uniforms for their Chaplains,
the Sheriff's Citizen's Patrol Program, and the Sheriff's Search and
Rescue Program. These programs are either marginally supported or not
funded at all by the county, but exist based on contributions from the
community. A list of donations made to the community since 1991 is shown
below. |

| Our chapter conducts a "Pot of Gold" raffle at each of our ten dinner meetings throughout the year (every month except July and December). This enables us to make an annual donation or donations to projects approved by the membership. Typically, these projects are public safety related, and are either unfunded or under funded by the appropriate level of government. |
