A day or two late, and a several dollars short, I completely dropped the ball in posting our June birthdays. I apologize to those who have already eaten their cake and blown out the candles. But for the ones coming up “high five”, I’m right on time. Brenda Griffin, Larry McLain, Bobbie Bozeman, Carolyn Thomas, Bob Thorpe, Randy Brillhart, Mike Andreas, CJ Nelson, Glenna Pool, Wendell Freeman, Frances Aston and Lisa Dear. Happy birthday June babies.

We have started a new game, 50/50. The cost is $1 per ticket. On the last Friday of every month one of our members will draw the winning name. The pot will be divided 50/50 between the winner and OCSCA. Enter as many times as you want. You must be present to win. If by chance the winner is not present, the pot will carry over into the next month. Our first drawing will be on June 28 around 12:15 p.m..

“A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society”. -Billy Graham.

One day is not enough to honor how special fathers truly are because they are amazing every day of the year. I have been so blessed with the men in my life. My dad, Bob Dear, shaped my early years, an amazing step dad, Kenneth Parker, patiently guided me through the teen age crisis years, and Jerral opened his arms to welcome me into a new family when Perry and I began dating in college. He is the role model my husband has to follow. He is the reason I knew Perry was going to be a fantastic daddy. Perry, you are the man of my heart, the father of our children, and the very best Pa to Kason and Elizabeth. Thank you for being our rock and cheerleader. Happy Father’s Day to you all.
