4th of July – No Meeting This Month

We hope you have a lovely 4th of July with your friends and family.  Thursday, July 4, 2024 would normally be the night for our monthly general membership meeting, but we are cancelling our July meeting for this important holiday.

Why is the 4th of July so important?  July 4th is the anniversary of American Independence Day – the independence from British rule.  It marks the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted (July 4, 1776) and the United States officially became its own nation.  The 4th of July holiday is not just a time to get together with friends, family and have a barbeque, it is a day to celebrate and remember that men died so that we could have a free country.  American Revolutionary soldiers fought in the snow with no shoes, they left their homes and families, and in fact George Washington, the Father of Our Country, lived away from his family and home for 8 years.

These men fought, many died, many were wounded, they left their wives and children at home alone in a time when it was dangerous to be home alone without a man to defend the home.  When they fought against the British they risked their lives, because they could be charged with treason against the British Government.  The soldiers risked absolutely everything to free this country and we owe it to them to be good stewards of this land.

We should vote in every single election and never fail to do so.
Work as election volunteers, if at all possible.
Register citizens to vote.
Work to ensure non-citizens do not vote.
Pray for America.
