Woodmen of the World Give Back Once Again!
Although I have heard of the Woodmen of the World, I never knew what they were about. I recently found out about them through Jim and Rita McGrane, who informed me that this giving organization has helped them to reach their goal this year to provide Officer Street Survival Training for the 2nd year since Deputy McGrane's death. Jim and Rita have dedicated their lives to assisting law enforcement officers with much needed training. This training isn't cheap and they have worked diligently to raise money for the second year in a row. Raising money is getting more difficult for them because they don't have others to help them. They can only be in so many places at one time. Through their grief over the loss of their son, Deputy James (Jimmy) McGrane, there were able to hold the 1st Annual Officer Street Survival Training, March of 2007, which provided much needed survival training to 300 law enforcement officers. The 2nd Annual Officer Street survival will be held again in March of 2008, thanks to the Woodmen of the World's generosity and so many others that have sent personal donations. So many have been so generous.
As for the Woodmen of the World, I decided to research this organization so that I would be able to understand what they are about. They are a family oriented organization that assists you in obtaining financial security for yourself and your loved ones. They are great givers in the community! They are a part of giving through:
The Red Cross Partnership Make a Difference Day
Disaster Relief Youth Service Projects
Join Hands Day Arbor Day Foundation
Flags Across America
In Honor and Rememberance
They offer memberships, camps, youth organization and lodges. They are givers in the community . I just think this is such a great organization. They are about family and community and there really isn't anything more important.
I hope when you decide to purchase life insurance, investments etc... that you consider going to their website and giving your business to them. Here is their website so you can check it out too:
Just when you think you might not make your goal....you say a prayer....and it works...it happens....it comes together......
A "Very Special Thank You" to The Woodmen of the World for helping Officer Street Survival Training, Deputy James F. McGrane, Jr. meet their goal!
