Hello brothers and sisters,

This month I have attended my first National President visit. We met in Halfway, Oregon where I participated in an Aisle of Honor, welcoming Brenda Bryant our National President. That evening a few of us asked Brenda about her previous visits and later played a dice game of Left, Right, Center. The next day we went to the Halfway museum with tour guides Dale Taylor and Galen West. Then we were taken to Cornucopia an old mine town above Halfway where Bob Taylor shared the home where he was the last person to be born in Cornucopia. For lunch we went to the Hell's Canyon Inn going toward Oxbow and that evening we had dinner at Post 7847. What an experience, it will not be my last; even after having a break down while heading home it was a great time.

The rest of the month will probably slow down, though I will be traveling again to Halfway to complete District 6 visits for our District 6 President Tanya Melnikoff on the 12th.

I hope this month finds everyone in good health and spirits.

Please keep any in need in your prayers
