Mike’s Message<br />

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day Holiday.<br />

Thank you to all that helped with the planning and coordination<br />

of the Pear Run this year. Even though this year’s event<br />

was cancelled I want to say thank you to each and everyone<br />

of you for your time and dedication. All of you together<br />

helped raise the bar on this event and I know next year’s race<br />

will be successful.<br />

I would like to express my thanks to all of you that helped out<br />

with the Class #34 Graduation and the setup for the PD<br />

Awards Banquet. You guys really saved the PD a lot of time.<br />

The Advanced CPA Class will be starting on May 31 through<br />

<strong>June</strong> 28th. The classes times will be from 7pm-9pm and will<br />

be held in the upstairs training room. I hope to see you<br />

there.<br />

We are still in need of volunteers for the upcoming Fourth of<br />

July celebration. If you would like to volunteer for this event<br />

please contact Larry Berkowitz at berkowitz.lary@gmail.com.<br />

Again, Thank you to each and every one of you for the time<br />

and dedication you put into this organization.<br />

Bill’s Blog<br />

Many thanks to the Pear Run Committee and to those who<br />

volunteered on race day! Although the weather did not<br />

cooperate, it was our most successful event ever. We had<br />

approximately 750 registrants and were looking for well over<br />

800 had it continued. Nice job everyone!<br />

The annual <strong>Police</strong> Officer’s Banquet at the New Hope Church<br />

was outstanding. Lisa Keeling received our Volunteer of the<br />

Year Award. Gary Kersten and Sam Gutierrez received special<br />

citizen’s recognition awards, one for saving a life and the other<br />

for excellent police work. To learn the details, congratulate<br />

both, the next time you see them.<br />

There is a common misconception among Americans that<br />

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves with a stroke of his pen. Yet<br />

the Emancipation Proclamation, which went into effect on Jan.<br />

1, 1863, did no such thing – or, at least, it didn’t do a very good<br />

job of it. Two and a half years later, on <strong>June</strong> 19, 1865, Union<br />

Soldiers sailed into Galveston, Texas announced the end of the<br />

Civil War, and read aloud a general order freeing the quartermillion<br />

slaves residing in the state. It’s likely that none of them<br />

had any idea that they had actually been freed more than two<br />

years before. It was truly a day of mass emancipation. It has<br />

become know as what? (Source: Time U.S.). Answer is in this<br />

RAP Sheet.<br />

Flag Day is Thursday <strong>June</strong> 14th. Please display.<br />

Why not treat dad to a juicy burger or cake and Blue Bell on<br />

Sunday <strong>June</strong> 17th? After all it’s his day and don’t forget to give<br />

him a big hug. Also, we dads like to be told we are loved!<br />

I didn’t know some days were longer than others. I’ve been<br />

told that <strong>June</strong> 21st is the longest day of the year, 1st day of<br />

summer is Wednesday, <strong>June</strong> 20th. Is that true? Have a great<br />

summer and mark your calendars for the 4th of July celebration.<br />

Volunteers are needed!<br />

Thank you for volunteering and getting involved!<br />

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the<br />

power to love.<br />

Volunteers are still needed for the 4th of July event. If you are interested in being with the<br />

CPA on Wednesday July 4th please call or email me. Lary Berkowitz 832-370-9258 or<br />

him, is he still wrong?<br />
