Calling all volunteers! The 39th Annual All Comers' Track Meets start on Tuesday, June 9 and continue for 6 weeks. And it takes volunteers to make them happen. And they are FUN!!! We need ribbon hander-outers and long jump pit workers. The meets start at 6 PM and volunteers need to check in at 5:45 PM. If you can help out any of these Tuesday evenings, please email Laura Lenz. You'll have a blast.

Red Cross Fund Raiser: Paul Scanlon will again be participating this year in the Red Cross Heroes campaign and hase what he hopes will be another interesting challenge. He is planning a bicycling trip in Alaska, riding to the Arctic Circle. He expects to provide an interesting travelogue for his contributors in a few weeks. The economy is tough for many right now, but even worse for those who are dealing with hardships. Please consider making a contribution to the American Red Cross through the Heroes Campaign. Please note that electronic contributions are possible this year at: http://www.firstgiving.com/paulscanlon1, or you can call him (507-951-3450) and debate the likelihood of him surviving an encounter with a polar bear. (Paul has undertaken many and varied athletic pursuits in recent years raising runds for the Red Cross. Each year has been something different. Last year it was a 26-mile kayak followed by a 100-mile bike ride. RKS)

Quote for the day: "For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal." --John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963
Until tomorrow.
