In all, there are six Blue Star Mothers of America chapters in  Arizona. The Havasu group, formed in June 2007, is one of two in Arizona  suspended this year for the same reason.
Kathy McCraw, president of the local group, said  there was a series of events leading to the change, including Havasu  following suit of dozens of other Blue Star Mothers groups in America  who have been suspended or revoked by the national group. Office  politics were prevalent, she said.
