Happy Independence Day! Have a great holiday. Enjoy the fireworks here at the Butte or wherever you are. Be safe, and be careful. There are already too many fires ripping through the southwest .
Summer is officially here and a lot of you will be traveling to visit family and friends, or just to see the sights. Take care and plan well. We look forward to seeing you when you get back.
I just got back from the Annual Department of New Mexico Convention in Albuquerque. I’ll be passing along some of the hi-lites at our next meeting. The School of Instruction will be in Albuquerque July 27th and 28th. Please contact me for details if you’d like to attend.
