President Message:<br />
July 4th is the day when all Americans<br />
Families celebrate with pool parties<br />
and barbeques and a bang of fireworks!<br />
Life is good because of the citizens who<br />
served their country, we enjoy<br />
freedom.<br />
Fredom is not free, the price paid so<br />
that others can enjoy freedom was paid with the red blood of<br />
the patriotic brothers and sisters who served. We cannot take<br />
that for granted. This years project is to support the<br />
men and woman that are deployed.<br />
I ask you to start collecting items to put in the care packages<br />
to be sent abroad. We have partnered with The Valley Resource<br />
Center to assemble the care packages and send them to the<br />
appropriate troops. Adopt-A-Troop Program -We send<br />
monthly care packages to deployed military members each<br />
month with letters of support and encouragement.<br />
Don’t forget we are still continuing to collect flags with<br />
embroidered stars. This project is to honor the veterens as we<br />
meet them in our community.<br />
Ladies, please honor, respect and support<br />
our vets. Freedom is really not free!<br />
Remember to keep track of your<br />
volunteer hours. See you on the 9th!<br />
