    I would like to thank everyone for their support this last yearwith all of our breakfasts we served, as well the help wereceived from the Junior Girls. We are always trying toimprove on how we serve and what we serve to keepeveryone one happy. If anyone has any suggestions for ourbreakfast please feel free to contact myself or any member ofthe Men's Auxiliary.

    This year's Cowboy Up Kick-Off was our best year yet justedging out last year's donations, thanks to everyone one forcoming out and enjoying the pulled pork dinner and the silent

    auction. The Men's Auxiliary still looks to be the largestsingle donator to the Cowboy Up Ride Against Cancer. TheCowboy Up Ride raises money all year long for the ROGERMARIS CANCER CENTER. I hope to keep that traditiongoing with everyone's support I believe we can do just that.

    Greetings Comrades:

    As I write this it is hard to believe that summer is

    almost 1/3 past. As usual business at the club has

    slowed down considerably especially the weekends

    (This happens every summer). But there are still things

    going on. Parade season is here and currently we havefive parades that the Post color guard and Ladies

    Auxiliary are marching in.

    Look for new events at the club after the summer/lake season. Also if

    anyone has ideas of how we can improve things please tell me. Crystal

    Hughes does a great job running our club but likes suggestions; we

    have tried with lots of different things. But in my opinion there is

    always something that can be done better.

    Also, if you get a chance, please stop by the American Legion and

    look at the new memorial it is truly a work of art and they did a greatjob with it.

    In closing I would ask you to keep those serving in the Armed Forces

    in your thoughts and prayers. Please enjoy your celebration of

    Independence Day and always remember that Freedom is NOT

    FREE.

    Yours in Comradeship

    Jason
