Summer in Ohio is Great!

So far we've had periods of rain, suffocating heat, high winds, a virtual drought (3+ days without rain), and cold north winds (49 degrees?). And we've just arrived at July! How could we possibly improve on this? Some porch time with a chilled beverage comes to mind.

Here are the birthday listings for July:

7-10......Dan Hicks
7-17......Stanley Foos
7-18......John Mathew
7-21......Tim Stapleton
7-24......Howard Dean
7-26......Josh Zachman


There are no Masonic Anniversaries for the month of July.


Even though we are firmly entrenched in summer, there are important dates to write in your calendar:

July 4, 2010. Independence Day. Celebrate the birth of our country. Attend a parade, watch some fireworks, host a cookout, or just relax under the shade of your favorite tree. Whatever your chosen activity, take a moment to honor the sacrifices of those who have gone before us. You'll be glad you did.
