Members of the Clark County Newcomers club recently contributed $15,500 to the Northwest Battle Buddies organization. The club contributed a similar amount to NWBB in 2015. That money purchased the golden retriever Ranger, who now belongs to Travis (pictured above), an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran, according to Karin Sandfort, Newcomers Club publicity chairwoman.
