HELPING THE VICTIMS IN LITTLETON

      Lost in the media blitz over promoting gun control are the surviving victims in Littleton and their families, all still working through the recovery process. There has been a great deal of attention placed on various funds set up to "assist" victims, but many of these are simply dedicated to establishing memorials, rather than directly aiding those who suffered the most. Other funds are reserving their moneys to be used solely for counseling, rather than assisting with the immediate needs of paying medical bills.

      In order to directly assist the victims of Columbine, the Colorado State Shooting Association (CSSA) has established a fund, started with a $500.00 contribution from the Aurora Gun Club, that will be used to help pay medical and other expenses incurred by the victims and their families. If you wish to donate to this fund, please make your check payable to the CSSA, and note that your contribution is for the Columbine Victim Fund. CSSA's address is:

P.O. Box 473101 Aurora, CO 80047-3101
