Support MAP and Receive
a Gift
By Jim Counter
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our
normal sources of funding for our Member Assistance
Program for GVR members have had to reduce their
support. However, our major source of funding for
MAP is our GVR members. The need for MAP has
NOT decreased this year, so please consider helping
your neighbors by giving to MAP through the GVR
Foundation.
One of our GVR members, Captain Kelly J. Galvin,
has stepped up to the plate by offering a copy of his
recently released book “My Iraqi War Logs” to the
first thirty (30) people who make a $25.00 or more
donation to MAP through the GVR Foundation.
You may send your tax deductible donation to:
GVR Foundation
PO Box 1553
Green Valley, AZ 85622
To receive your copy of “My Iraqi War Logs,” please
call a GVR Customer Service Representative at (520)

While some people who get vaccinated may still
contract influenza, the flu shot typically prevents
about 70 of 100 people who receive it from
developing a moderate to severe flu infection. So
even though the vaccine might not completely
prevent the flu, it can help keep you from getting
sick enough that you have to go to the hospital.
“Reducing the overall burden of respiratory illnesses
is really important to help protect vulnerable
populations at risk for severe disease,” said Godbout,
“And it also helps lessen the resulting burden on our
health care system, which is crucial throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic.”
Godbout said that while practices people follow to
help guard against COVID-19, such as handwashing,
social distancing and wearing masks, will probably
help decrease the spread of influenza, the flu shot Green Valley
