Month number seven already and it seems as though the year just started yesterday. Mother Nature is being kind to us with this perfect summer weather for the Kenmore based "Non-Profit Organizations 6th Annual Picnic" hosted by the Kenmore Community Club. Again this year it will be held on the second Wednesday in July to correspond with our regular pot luck night. We will have hot-off-the-grill hot dogs and polish franks both mild and spicy, and all the pot luck selections and other picnic type foods.

The Askelson/Straw Ramp

Marty Askelson and Les Straw have taken on a project that will greatly improve the accessibility of the club house for those visitors and renters confined to a wheel chair or have trouble traversing a set of stairs or steep incline. Marty started the project by setting the post and laying out the concrete forms. Les Straw and Marty on a Sunday morning constructed a drain field and readied the ground with gravel for the concrete pour which was completed on Tuesday June 30th. Every member should tip their hat and give both men a pat on the back for all their work. A job well done and much appreciated.

Please continue to use caution in our construction zone at the front entry way. It will be a little inconvenient until we finish our ramp entry.

This month starts our new e-mail newsletter service. Those members who have provided their e-mail address will receive their newsletter a day or two early as it will be e-mailed when it is processed for the regular mail delivery. For those who do not have e-mail service you will continue to receive your newsletter via your regular mail service. If you do have e-mail but still want to receive your newsletter through the regular mail let us know. Thanks to all who have signed up for the new service.

Don't forget "HopeLink" and bring some canned food for our donation box. In this time of real need those of us who can help are appreciated by those in need.
-LGE

The nation's finest men and women who volunteer to serve in the armed forces are stationed all around the world to support friendly countries and protect our country's interest in those lands. Please give a moment of your time and say a little prayer for these brave volunteers who are serving in this nation's military.

The $20.00 June winner would have been Greg Pruitt. We looked over the 26 members who were eating dinner, but no Greg. We called Greg's name but he did not respond, so the pot goes to $25.00 for the August meeting. Good luck to all who attend.

Where is found the largest collection of branding irons in the country?
Answer: Asotin County Museum (Ref: Washington Trivia pg 190)

July Washington State Quiz (Geography)

What Washington State town shipped a twenty-two-ton lump of coal to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair? (Answer Ref: Washington Trivia pg 34)

Be the first to give the president a correct answer at the potluck and he will give you a Kenmore Flag 4" X 6"

Thanks go Joe Loutsis for cutting the lawn after being well fed at the Wednesday evening potluck, and Ed Straw for this week's mowing.

NAME TAGS

It was suggested that we provide name tags for our members and wear them on potluck night so new members can learn all our names and those we don't see very often will be recognized when they attend. We will have a sample for our next pot luck which is also our Kenmore Non profit Organization Picnic.
