CRI (Conservatives, Republicans, and Independents)
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah. CRI’s
December Party was a great celebration and a huge success. We feasted
on an Italian themed charcuterie buffet and many of us sang the songs of
the season around the piano being played by Ramona Crabtree. A big
“Thank You” to Gina Stamper and her team for another successful event. This Veterans Day was more special than usual for our group. As we

Club Veterans
gathered there with other Vets for the grand opening and a tour of the
University’s First Veterans Resource Center. Our donations help create
and build this quiet place for the 87 vets now attending Jessup getting
their degrees. They now have a quiet place to study, meet and adjust to
civilian life while completing the next step in their lives. In addition,
they will have immediate access to the VA officers who are there to
assist and expedite for them any benefits for which they qualify. This is
the first center of its kind for any University here in Northern CA. Our
goal and Jessup’s goal is “NO veteran will graduate with debt!” A tall
order but it seems to be working. 99% of their students graduate and go
on to successful careers. It must be mentioned that this year along with
our usual donation, the Club Vets have offered our first scholarship to a
deserving Veteran attending school at Jessup. It will be awarded in the
Spring along with all the other earned scholarships.
Later after the tour the Veterans were escorted over to the gym to watch
Jessup play Oregon Tech. We all had a great time; the kids were very
appreciative. Thank you all for your support throughout the year. Happy
Holidays to you all! See pictures on page 25.
Cornhole
Cornhole (also known regionally as sack toss, or bags) is a lawn game in
which players or teams take turns throwing fabric bean bags at a raised,
angled board with a hole in its far end. The goal of the game is to score
points by either landing a bag on the board (one point) or putting a bag
through the hole (three points).
