During the current novel corona- virus (COVID-19) pandemic, Paralyzed Veterans of America leadership has opened the Disaster Relief Grant Program to qualified applicants who are experiencing hardship directly related to the unex- pected impact of the COVID-19 virus. Possible financial hardship resulting from the impact of COVID-19 includes funds needed to purchase medical supplies normally provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs but that are now limited as a result of supply rationing or any additional costs directly resulting from changes in your health care protocol because of the impact of COVID-19. Qualified applicants must provide documen- tation illustrating the direct financial burden resulting from COVID-19 and complete the Disaster Relief Grant Application on pages 7–8 of this issue of PN. To assist requesters in the distribution of relief funds, members must comply with the following accountability procedures: 1. Funds will only be provided to PVA members. 2. A maximum of $1,500 per individual or family will be granted. Each application must be evaluated for need. Maximum disbursements will not be made in all cases. 3. Funds may be used for transportation, temporary shelter, food, modifications for accessibility, prosthetic appliances and medical supplies. The funds will not be provided if other assistance has been provided to pay for the items in the request (insurance, FEMA, etc.).

  • Parent's Guide to Fencing
    A PARENT’S GUIDE TO FENCING 2007 EDITION Your Kids, Their Swords, and Surviving it all with your Sanity Intact Copyright © 2007 Fencing.Net, LLC – All Rights Reserved. Photos courtesy of and © FencingPhotos.com A PARENT’S GUIDE TO FENCING 2007 EDITION Fencing: A Comprehensive Parent’s Guide /Fencing/, noun 1: the art or practice of attack and defense with the foil, épée, or sabre 2: deriving from the expression, "The Art of Defense," meaning the art of defending one's self in combat. In the broadest possible sense, fencing is the art of armed combat involving weapons directly manipulated by hand, rather than shot or thrown. Why Fencing? If you’re reading this guide, you obviously have some interest in this unique activity. Maybe it’s the cool weapons that initially sparked your curiosity, or the distinctive clothes, or the intricate strategy involved. No matter your initial ingress into the world of fencing, the more you learn about it, the more you will want to participate. Coordination, speed, agility and self-assurance are just a few of the qualities this sport requires of its participants. A fencer needs not only to be quick of body but of mind as well. The intensity of fencing, and the extreme demands it places on one are a natural result of fencing's violent history. And while fencing has morphed from combat to sport, and possessing these skills no longer carries a life or death consequence, they are, however, in large part what make fencing such an exhilarating endeavor. A successful fencer must be capable of mounting powerful driving attacks or conversely, of making subtle and crafty defenses, all within the space of a few seconds.
