NEWS & HIGHLIGHTS
Meet our Director
FCVC has its first Center Director! Tim Bahr is a retired Senior Master Sergeant from the US Air Force where he served in various assignments across the United States and Europe. An Operation Allied Force, Operation Northern Watch, and Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran, Bahr served in Turkey, Qatar, and most recently in Afghanistan in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Tim's diverse assignments during his military career included working with members from every branch of uniformed service. Tim is passionate about working with active duty, Guard and all Veterans and their families especially because his time in uniform has provided an understanding of the needs of Veterans and how to relate with them directly to support addressing a broad array of needs.
Walking Sticks for Veterans: an Inspiring Summer Project
Oliver and Brooks Ricci did an amazing thing this summer while staying with their grandmother. Oliver is 16 years old and his brother Brooks is 13. Their grandfather served in Vietnam and was a Major in the US Army. Oliver made his grandfather a walking stick last summer. His grandfather enjoyed it so much that Oliver decided to make more this year and give them to Veterans in honor of his grandfather, who died this past year after living in Falmouth for 30 years. The walking sticks are local locust wood. The bark was removed and the sticks were chiseled and sanded. Tung oil and stain were then applied with more buffing after that. On Monday, November 11th, to honor their grandfather and all Veterans who served, their beautiful works of art were raffled off to five lucky Veterans. Thank you Oliver and Brooks for your time, effort, and kindness and for allowing FCVC to play a small part in finding good homes for your Veteran walking sticks!
