100TH
ANNIVERSARY PLANNING - The Way Ahead
I am very pleased and proud to announce that our Colonel-in-Chief, Madame Adrienne Clarkson, has been selected as the recipient of the Vimy Award for 2010. I have spoken to Madame Clarkson and offered her sincere congratulations on behalf of the Regiment.
The Vimy Awards Gala Reception and Dinner this year will take place in Ottawa Friday November 19th, and it is hoped that we will have a good representation of Patricias at the dinner.
The Award recognizes one Canadian annually who has made a significant and outstanding contribution to the defence and security of our nation and the preservation of our democratic values.
A news release from CDA is to follow shortly.
Please give this wide distribution.

PPCLI WOs & Snr NCOs Club (Retired) Piklee Info Bulletin 16 September 2009 Volume 7 Number 56 Website: www.pikleepost.com E-mail: piklee@shaw.ca Tele: (250) 478-3757 HONORARY PATRICIA – Don Cherry Ed’s note: Don, will no doubt soon have a new blazer (Red, Gold & Royal Blue) to match his Regimental Tie.
BACKGROUND: Members of our Regiment are grouped into four categories: serving members; retired members; titular members; and honorary members. An honorary member is defined in Paragraph 5, Article 120, Chapter 1 of the Regimental Manual, as follows: Honorary Patricia. From time to time, certain citizens who have displayed long-standing and unsolicited support of the Regiment may be honoured by receiving invitations to become life members of the Regiment. These members shall be referred to as Honorary Patricias. This honour will be bestowed only in exceptional circumstances and after the recommendation of the Regimental Executive Committee, the concurrence of the Regimental Guard and the approval of the Colonel of the Regiment in consultation with the Colonel in Chief. A record of honorary members will be maintained in the Regimental Manual, Annex D to Chapter 1. GENERAL: On behalf of the Colonel of the Regiment, Brigadier General (Ret'd) Gollner, it is my distinct pleasure to announce Mr. Don Cherry's appointment as an Honorary Patricia. Formal public broadcast of this appointment will be made at a later date to be confirmed. I politely request that you disseminate the following message from the Colonel of the Regiment to your respective Patricias:
APPOINTMENT OF MR. DON CHERRY AS AN HONORARY PATRICIA: Our soldiers have often said that Don Cherry should be a Patricia. They admire and respect Don Cherry's unabashed pride of being a Canadian, his unstinting public support of the Canadian Forces, especially since the beginning of the Afghan campaign, and his recognition of the families of Canadian Forces members. They like his unmatched hockey knowledge too. They feel that Don Cherry shares many common values with us and as such is worthy of being a Patricia.
Earlier this year acting on our soldier's behalf I asked our Regiment's Commanding Officers to discreetly poll their units to see if the proposal to make Don Cherry an Honorary Patricia was widely held. Additionally, senior members of the Regiment and our Association advice were sought. Across the family the results were clear; make Don Cherry an Honorary Patricia. I asked Don and he agreed to join our Regimental family. We are all pleased and proud of having him as a member of our Regimental family and look forward to welcoming him into our family.
