The Friends organization was delighted to have former Deputy Chief Steven Xiarhos of the Yarmouth Police Department as a guest during our monthly meeting at the Cape Cod Vet Center. He was here to present the Friends organization with a check distributed from the Nicholas G. Xiarhos Foundation that is administered annually by the Cape Cod Foundation. Mr. Xiarhos recently retired after some 40 years with the Yarmouth Police Department, serving in a multitude of capacities. His son, Nicholas was killed in Afghanistan in 2009 and the Xiarhos Foundation now supports a number of different veteran’s activities. Mr. Xiarhos is familiar with the activities of the Cape Cod Vet Center in its capacity to serve combat veterans with various mental challenges and he welcomes the opportunity to help out where needed.
