Treasurers Message: Bill Morris
Greetings fellow cavalry troopers, retirees and

friends of the Cav,
If you're a basic member consider upgrading for $10 a year or becoming a life member for $200. If you're already life member, we still encourage you to make a donation to the general fund, or to a special interest you may have (like sponsor a trooper for Spurs and Sabers, care packages, etc).
We appreciate all of you and look forward to many reunions later this year!
