G-A CLUB SUMMER DART TOURNAMENT – Details are somewhere in this newsletter
VOLUNTEERISM and YOUR CLUB: Organizations such as ours, can only survive if the members are prepared to offer some volunteer time. It is very critical to our club that we get these volunteer hours. Every hour of volunteer time, puts additional money ($$$) in our accounts.
Help The Bar Chairman
Our bar chairman, Ray Procious, is looking for a few good members that are willing to assist as bartenders. For those that have no experience behind the stick, Ray will train.
NEXT MEMBERSHIP MEETING: Our final meeting prior to the “GERMAN SUMMER FEST” (OXROAST) is JULY 14, 2007. This is a critical meeting. Volunteers are needed to perform the necessary work assignments that must be covered. Many members have signed up, but there are still a lot of holes that must be filled. So, please attend, and add your name to the Volunteer Work Assignment Sheets.
Dinner will be served at 7:30 PM.
July 14th Kitchen Duty: Anthony Restive & Johan Jung
August 18th Kitchen Duty: Joseph Russo & Siegfried Klammer
Special Request for Donations
DONATIONS NEEDED for the “Summer Fest” - Oxroast: Frances Konschak is asking you for your donations for her Basket of Cheer Raffles. She wants to fill two baskets with much cheer. These raffles that Frances has been doing for many years, are a tremendous plus towards the bottom line. Also, Frances could use a little help selling the tickets.
MORE DONATIONS WANTED for the “Summer Fest”- Oxroast: The ladies of the cake table are in need of cakes that they can sell. As we have done in past years, we are asking some members to bake cakes that we can sell at the coffee/cake table. We will still be purchasing cakes from the baker but we know that the homemade cakes are better sellers, and, give us a greater profit.
Volunteers are needed for the German Summer Fest. Sign–up sheets are at the club house. Pick your spot, and volunteer a few hours to help our club. PLEASE NOTE – a few of our regular workers at the entrance gate and the parking lot, are unable to attend this year. So if you can, offer us a few hours at these very important work areas.
Send your dues to Monika Wolf at 13 Boswell Rd., Putnam Valley, NY 10579, or to Linda Ahrens at 12 Gardineer Rd, Putnam Valley, NY 10579. Regular dues are $50 per year. All others dues are covered in the by-laws. Additional contributions are appreciated.
There are still approximately 35 members that are in “DUES ARREARS”.

U.S.A. NATIONAL EMBLEM: The Bald Eagle was officially declared the National Emblem of the United States by the Second Continental Congress in 1782. It was selected by the U.S.A.'s founding fathers because it is a species unique to North America. Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey to be the national bird, because he thought the eagle was of bad moral character. The Bald Eagle has since become the living symbol of the U.S.A.'s freedoms, spirit and pursuit of excellence. Its image and symbolism have played a significant role in American art, folklore, music and architecture.

The Turning Point of the War: July 1st – 3rd, 1863
The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War. The Union victory in the summer of 1863, ended General Robert E. Lee's second and most ambitious invasion of the North. Often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Confederacy", it was the war's bloodiest battle, with 51,000 casualties. It also provided President Abraham Lincoln with the setting for his most famous address.

Election will be held on July 14th. DID YOU KNOW ?? During the American Civil War, nearly 200,000 native Germans served in the Union Army. Second only to Irish-Americans, German-Americans in the American Civil War were the largest contingent to fight for the Union, with New York and Ohio both providing 10 divisions, dominated largely by native-born Germans. Approximately 516,000 (23.4% of all Union soldiers) were German-Americans; about 176,817 of these were born in Germany, although some sources suggest over 200,000. New York provided the majority of these
native-born Germans with 36,000. Behind the Empire State came Missouri with 30,000, and Ohio with 20,000.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
On June 9, 1776, the Continental Congress accepted a resolution of Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee, appointing a committee to draft a declaration of secession from the dominions of the English king and parliament. On June 29, the committee – composed of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin. Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston – presented their draft for debate and a vote. On July 4, an amended version of that draft was accepted. The war that had been raging for more than a year had finally driven the reluctant revolutionaries to sever all ties with their motherland. Thus was born the greatest Democracy in recorded history.
