We have got William Skien, the President and CEO of
the one hundred Club and William just a tragic day yesterday.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Thank you, Dana. Yesterday was a pretty tragic day and
law enforce for the families, the co workers, the friends,
the citizens in the Hunter Club. Deputy Hissus Varga was
killed yesterday while attempting to serve to warrant as a
member of the Gulf Coast by in Defender's pass force

a police canine that was shot in the eventual apprehension
(05:18):

married with three children, and we will be presenting an
immediate twenty thousand dollars check to his widow for any
immediate needs she may have. Then we'll be coming back

o'clock yesterday in Grimes County, Texas, there was a pursuit
(05:42):
involving a forgery suspect and Sergeant Martin Butler of the
inn Avinsota Police Department put himself. This vehicle was traveling
at a high rate of speed into oncoming traffic. He
put his patrol in it between the suspect and the
citizens and was tragically hit and killed yesterday at about

(06:05):
the twenty thousand dollars check, and then coming back later
as we always do, to assess the financial needs that
they may have, looking at mortgages and car payments, and
trying to take away the financial burdens these families have
during these tragic losses.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So we now need to help you guys with a
survivor's fund. Tell us how we can go about donating absolutely.

donating to it. One hundred percent of the money donated

penny that goes in there will go to help officers,
firefighters and their families during these tragic times in need.
Speaker 1 (06:58):

I'm a lifetime member, and you all have changed up
the membership for those who are super committed to our
law enforcement. Tell us about the new levels that we

folks that want to do more and show more and
care more so, we've added a Diamond membership lifetime membership
and a Platinum lifetime membership, and those are a five
thousand dollars level and a ten thousand dollars level, and.

You can pay them in increments.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I saw that, Yes, you can pay them out quarterly.
In any donation you've already made to the hundred Club
for your membership level is attributed to that next level.
So if you're already a lifetime member, it's four thousand dollars.
If you're already a lifetime member and want to go Platinum,
it would be nine thousand and payable of quarterly as well.
So it's got some great benefits. We do yetti coolers
(07:57):
