THE HAMILTON SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
WHY & WHAT: Each year we feel more and more blessed by The Mingle. The people that attend, coach, instruct, AI, RSO and volunteer are the best of the best. The companies that sponsor our event are very generous and ask for so little in return. We would like to THANK our awesome monetary sponsors via The Hamilton Scholarship program. It is because of THEM that we can offer such a quality and unique weekend for ladies in the firearms/self defense industry. As a small token of our thanks, we dedicate The Hamilton Scholarship program to our monetary sponsors. WHO? On Sunday, October 16th, 2022 I lost a dear dear friend to a stroke, Joan (Corky) Hamilton. Corky was known, and loved, for many different things. She was a shooter, a teacher, a competitor, a Federal Agent, a student, an influencer, care taker, dog lover, an Olympic athlete, a giver, a helper, a mentor, a constant flow of positive energy and a friend. She was a HUGE Mingle supporter and attend the all but the first year. I think she was the "voice" of The Mingle as much as I was. Please watch the short video and consider reading her obituary...she was a Police Olympic GOLD Medalist, Federal Agent, Federal Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor, US Forest Service, a voice for The Mingle to help more women with self protection education, active member at her church, and so much more! These 2 things will give you a glimpse into who Corky was.... To me, she was all of those wrapped up in someone that made my life better. She was in my super small circle of trusted humans and I will miss her more than words can say. Corky and I had many adventures together over the last 7 years but the grandest of all was just having lunch with a dear friend....damn did we laugh! The Hamilton Scholarship program has been put in place to offer one special lady a spot at The Mingle for FREE! Thank you dear friend for being a part of The Mingle, and my life, for so many years. HOW:
Thank you Corky, you are loved beyond measure. God has his hands full with you sweet girl, go easy on him..... |
