Spring is here!! Well, at least I hope it is, as at the time I am writing this it is 40 degrees and rain- ing! The joys of living in NW Ohio! Anyways, I do hope spring weather has descended on us by the time this letter reaches everyone. I hope all of you had a great time at the Spring Fling and Officer Installation. I know Amy and I had a blast. I'd like to thank all the volunteers and staff for putting on a wonderful event. Distant Cousinz rocked the house! I am sure we will be having them back in the near future. As it is now the month of May, there are two things that occur that affect all of us. Firstly, we will celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, May 13th. Please come and join us in cel- ebrating the wonderful women who raised us! Also, Monday, May 28th is Memorial Day. We will be walking in the Maumee parade and handing out flags so please join us! Memorial Day is one of the most important holidays we observe over the course of the year. It was formerly known as “Decoration Day”, a holiday borne of the Civil War. By World War II, it was more commonly known as Memorial Day. The national holiday act in 1971 is what set the last Monday in May as the official day. Before this, May 30th was the day of observance. On this somber day, we remember those men and women who so selflessly and bravely fought for this great nation of ours, and paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. So I ask all of you, this month, and not just on Memorial Day, to remember our brave men and women who gave their lives to allow all of us to contin- ue living with the rights and freedoms we all hold so dear.
