The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.

The
Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) held their annual Gathering of the
Guard in Ogden, Utah this year. The Patriot Guard Riders
provided LHCP with free vendor space for the weekend.
Events started on Thursday July 30 and went through Sunday,
Aug 2. Activities for the PGR included the traveling
Vietnam Memorial wall, a concert and the Field of Flags.
The Field of Flags was approximately 5,000 American flags
representing all our fallen heroes during the Global War on
Terror. Many of the riders that came to Utah went on to
Sturgis later that weekend.
The
Patriot Guard Riders were kind enough to provided LHCP with a
free vendor space for the weekend. During the weekend
James Spliedt, LHCP vice-president had a chance to meet many
veterans and several Gold Star families. A number of the
LHCP contact cards, brochures and pins were given out over
these few days. 
One
of the local PRG Gold Star families, John and Celeste
Thibeault son is the LHCP September 2009 Honoree Pvt. Jordan
Thibeault. 
Several
weeks later Jim said the weekend was successful because our
newsletter editor, Rachel Hause was attending a monthly
breakfast gathering of the Minnesota Marine Moms a couple
weeks later and met an Army mom from Wisconsin that had one of
our contact cards and pin from this event.
