We also thank the Central Baptist Church for providing our meeting place each week and ice for our drinks. Their generous donation allows us to have a nice place for our meetings.
As we celebrate Independence Day, we thank all the soldiers who have fought for our freedom. When you see a soldier, don't hesitate to say, "Thank you for your service."
