Project Stepping Stone Co-chairs Cathy Fisher, Sue Farrell and
Phyllis Young selected Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans for Project
Stepping Stone 2014. Members rallied behind the cause after listening to
founder Bob Adams at the October 2014 meeting and seeing the proposed plan to furnish
one of four bedrooms in Tammy's Trace, a new women’s home
in Wheaton.
Project Stepping Stone is dedicating our efforts to honor Gunnar
Hotchkin, son of member Chris Hotchkin and grandson of member Ly
Hotchkin. PFC Gunnar Hotchkin was an army combat engineer and
paratrooper, killed at 31 in Afghanistan, June 2010. He was awarded the Bronze Star among other citations, and
was considered a model soldier by his officers.Gunnar leaves behind a wife and three children.
