July GMM - Reminder

Our July GMM is Tuesday, July 5th at Trippers. The meeting will start at 7 PM. We will have an exciting guest speaker. And it will be fun hearing how all of you celebrated the holiday. I hope to see you there!

Happy Independence Day!

 

Did you know? As found in History.com.
Variously known as the Fourth of July and Independence Day, July 4th has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution (1775-83). In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with typical festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.

T-Shirt Poll-Respond by July 10th!

The chapter needs new shirts. We are getting ready to place an order. One of the first questions we have is what style of shirt should we order? This will help us determine costs and colors.

 

Please take a minute to respond to the following poll. It is not intended to be an order form but a way for us to gauge interest from the group. You can select any and all options that you would be interested in. Please only select items you would personally consider buying. We will review the results on July 10th and determine the most popular items.
