Dear Members:
It is hard to believe that July is already here. Our July General Meeting will again honor our retired
and active duty military personnel. Each member has the opportunity to sponsor a guest for the
Military Appreciation Luncheon. Last year's luncheon was a
huge success so we are hoping for an even bigger turnout this year. Vicki Roark, Debbie Barron, and
Debbie Freed have been organizing this very special event. I encourage all members to attend and
extend their support to our Armed Forces.
A big thank you to all members participating in the Volunteers-To-Go Program – the response has
been overwhelming.
We are still accepting membership renewals - please remember to renew your membership and sign
up for committees. All of this information is needed for our membership directory. Also, our
Yearbook Ad campaign is still in progress - your support is needed.
As always, your support and consideration are greatly appreciated.
Until next month,
Dolores
