Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the last two S.A.L.
dinners. We had a few new people helping out with the dinner before the golf
outing. That was greatly appreciated as it was our largest dinner to date.
I would also like to thank D & J Karaoke for a wonderful job, as always, at our
last dinner. Our next two steak dinners will be September 1st and October
6th. They will both be followed up with entertainment by D & J Karaoke.
We always have room for more volunteers and new ideas, if you are interested
please join us at our S.A.L. meetings on the last Monday of the month at 7:00
pm.
Check your mailboxes for your 2008 dues notice, if you pay by September 30th
you are eligible for the free Early Bird breakfast.
Thank you,
Jason Plummer, S.A.L. Commander

President’s Greeting:
Ladies:
Please remember our first meeting is on September 10th at 7:00pm
It’s back!! We will be doing dessert for the S.A.L. Steak Dinners. The steak dinners are on the first Saturday of each
month. I have already had several people signup for bring desserts for September, if you would like to participate it
would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know what you are bringing.
We are trying to build our Euchre on Tuesday nights by having ‘twice around’ play rather than ‘speed’ play. We play
every Tuesday night at 7:30pm. We look forward to seeing you, so come early and sign in. Don’t forget our ‘Partners’
Euchre game is on the second Friday of every month.
Keep an eye on the calendar for our annual Bazaar and car show. We hope to see you at our next meeting on
September 10th.
Much love,
Jan Tucker, President
Chaplain’s Prayer:
Prayer for Peace
O God, you are the source of life and peace.
Praised be your name forever. We know it is you
who turns our minds to thoughts of peace.
Hear our prayer in this time of crisis. Your power
changes hearts. Muslims, Christians, and Jews
remember, and profoundly affirm, that they are followers of the one God, Children of Abraham, brothers and sisters; enemies begin to speak to one another; those who were estranged join hands in
friendship; nations seek the way of peace together.
Strengthen our resolve to give witness to these
truths by the way we live. Give to us:
Understanding that puts an end to strife; Mercy that
quenches hatred, and Forgiveness that overcomes
vengeance. Empower all people to live in your law
of love.

The Hamilton County Veterans Organization is looking for WWII Veterans...
A one day trip to Washington DC is being planned by the Hamilton County Veterans Organization. Their goal
is to take as many of our County’s World War II veterans as possible to Washington D.C.
The fee for the event is $208.80 per Veteran. We feel this would make a great Christmas, Birthday or Thank
You gift for any Son, Daughter or Family member to give their Dad or Mom that is a WWII Veteran. The fee
includes transportation to and from the Indianapolis International Airport and the round trip air fare to Washington DC where a tour of the Veteran Monuments will take place.
Any WWII Veteran or their family interested in taking part in this event are asked to call Wayne Long at the
Hamilton County Veteran Service Officer at 776-9620 or Ron Wilson at 379-1101 for additional details.
The trip is being planned for October 17th 2007. We look forward to hearing from you.
Family Fun Day!!!
Wow! What a day of fun was had by all. We could not have asked for a better day—the weather was perfect!
The children had a wonderful time. We would like to thank all the volunteers for their help and a special
Thanks to Jack and Jo for the great roast pig.
With our country at war and our sons and daughters risking there lives each day makes Family Fun Day even
more special. Thanks Post 155 for bring us together.
