December 31, 2017 Location: RMS Gear Wheat Ridge, CO Hosted By: River Deep and SCI HOP Participants: Operation TBI Freedom and Soldiers from Ft Carson WTB Archery instruction and lunch We had an enthusiastic group of Vets, spouses and children ready for some archery instruction with the best instructors and facility in Colorado. Tom Clum and his staff took us thru all the steps of traditional archery. The group was fitted with a recurve or longbow, with basic form and technique explained. Everyone stepped up to the line with their instructors arrows flying and smiles followed. There is no sign of slowing down, everybody is having a great time learning, shooting, and improving. As the food arrived for lunch, it looked like we would have to pry the bows out of the participants hands. It’s been a great day and it looks like many have found a new sport. A big thanks to RMS Gear and staff. Happy New Year! Bob Adwar SCI, VP/Humanitarian Chairman River Deep, President

December 15-16, 2017 Location: Nebrado Farms, Holyoke, CO Hosted By: River Deep and SCI HOP Participants: Operation TBI Freedom and Soldiers from Ft Carson WTB Pheasant Hunt, Happy Jacks Barbeque and Nebrado Farms Last weekend River Deep and SCI HOP, along with Allen Strong and Rudy Haynes, hosted Veterans from Operation TBI Freedom and Soldiers from Ft Carson Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB), on the Eastern Plains of Colorado, in farm country. Friday morning, the group of Veterans and hunting dogs were excited to walk the tall grass. Hosts Allen Strong and Rudy Haynes were both very generous with their time and land. The hunt began in the tall grass adjacent to the corn fields. Both the flushers and pointers went to work doing their job locating pheasants. The dogs mainly found hens, but a few roosters come out and ended up in vests. Everyone had a great time, especially at dinner with the feast at Happy Jacks Barbeque in Holyoke. Happy Jacks owner, Allyn Robinson, did a fantastic job and has been treating us for years. The group was tired and full, so we headed back to the hotel for a good nights sleep as we were up early on Saturday, back out in the fields. It’s been a great couple of days and a wonderful time for everyone. A big thanks to all of our Holyoke Friends. Bob Adwar SCI, VP/Humanitarian Chairman River Deep, President
December 8, 2017 Location: Bass Pro Shop, Colorado Springs, CO Hosted By: Operation TBI Freedom, River Deep and SCI HOP Participants: Operation TBI Freedom staff and clients, Soldiers from Ft Carson WTB, and Wounded Veterans with River Deep and SCI HOP Family Holiday Party, Bowling and Santa Operation TBI Freedom, River Deep and SCI HOP hosted the third annual Family Holiday Party for wounded vets and family members at the Bass Pro Shop in Colorado Springs. The Bass Pro Shop and Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl & Grill have a beautiful bowling alley that feels like an aquarium with all the fish mounts hanging from the ceiling along with the tackle and boats. Santa sat next to the Christmas tree, fireplace and decorations as he passed out presents to 50 children, along with over 100 adults in attendance. Some are bowling and some are bringing their kids over to meet Santa, receive a gift and have their picture taken. Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl & Grill, connected to the bowling alley, served lunch at noon which left everyone with a smile on their face. It was a fantastic family holiday party. Thanks to Operation TBI Freedom and their staff, along with Bass Pro Shop, Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl & Grill, Fort Carson Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB), River Deep, SCI HOP and all the volunteers that made this possible.

December 2, 2017 Hosted by: SCI HOP and River Deep Location: Valhalla Hunt Club, Bennett, CO Participants: Craig Hospital Patients Trap Shooting, Pheasant Hunt, Lunch Its hard to believe it’s December. The temperature is in the 60’s. The sun is out and the breeze is slight. We have a big group of patients from Craig Hospital along with staff members. Some have prior experience with trap shooting and pheasant hunting and for some it will be the first time. Either way, everyone is in good spirits and ready to go. We start with the trap range. Instruction for some and tune up for the others. Next comes a great BBQ lunch prepared by Steph and Glenna with Valhalla Hunt Club. It’s time to head up to the tall grass and find some pheasants. The dogs are ready to go along with everyone else. We walk through the fields. Birds fly some end up in the bag and some fly away to another zip code. Either way it’s a great day and everyone is having a wonderful time. A big thanks to all the volunteers along with River Deep and Valhalla Hunt Club.
