Legion of Honor Rique Beslin Twenty-one LOH and Ladies went on a Riverboat dinner Cruise in St Paul for their July meeting. It was fun and good to have a casual meeting. The LOH has carried colors in the South St Paul Parade, Lakeville’s Pan-O Prog, Mendota Parade, White Bear Ave parade, and Hastings, River Town Days parade! Thanks to all the LOH members who have stepped up and supported these parades. We also entered the LOH Jeep in the car show and cruise. It was a great time driving the Jeep at Elko Speedway behind the pace car! Thanks to Jim Smeby for helping us accomplish this. We have quoted light jackets, polo’s and hats. We need to understand the number of members who need or want new hats, new polo’s and new light jackets before we commit funds. Please get in touch with me to advise. The LOH remaining parades are; MSA parades, Thursday, and Saturday. Vice Commander Jim Moore will take his truck to MSA and carry the flags for these parades. Kenyon Rose Fest Parade, August 19th, 4pm, after the St Paul Park am parade! Our August meeting will be moved to Tuesday, Aug 21st to Chanters Where does time go! We have made it through the 4th of July and now on to the rest of the summer. The Lakeville Parade was a big success, with large crowds on the street watching. They were four-deep in some locations, and everyone seemed glad to see us. It was nice to hear comments such as “we love you and the work you do.” The White Bear Avenue Parade was good too, with lots of spectators. For both parades, we used some new music on our float. The Star Spangled Banner seemed especially well received. Next we participated in the Ceremonial on July 28th. That evening, the Potentates Gala was a grand affair. Everybody looked just great, with some in costume and some in tuxedo. Our next Parade is in St. Paul Park on August 18. We look forward to being there. We are not going to compete at the M.S.A. this year. We need more voices – interested? Call Dean Strand at 651-770- 2159.

Mighty Mites Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other. Abraham Lincoln As you review this quote by Abraham Lincoln you can Tim Gangnon understand why the Mighty Mites have been so successful this parade season. Not because it is one individual driving our success but rather because we as a group drive to make each other successful when we parade, work the circus or simply work for the greater good of helping kids by keeping our hospitals going strong. This summer we have participated in new parades and old. We have watched young drivers improve to the point where they are keeping up with the old drivers. All of this has resulted in our unit getting better and of course all of us having fun. So here is to the Mighty Mites, (you too, Art) thanks for your hard work and dedication, you are the best.
