Ranier. The original site of the crash is now blocked, so a replica of the plaque and rock was brought to Enumclaw and this memorial service is held each year. The next Lake Fair Parade is July 18, 2009 (the weekend before the Enumclaw Games). It starts at 1530 hours. We need at least four members to carry flags. The Color Guard will precede the Olympia Highlanders Pipe Band in the 1.6 mile parade. The parade route is along Capitol Way in Olympia, starting approximately 3/4 mile South of the Capitol Building ending in downtown Olympia. The entire route is straight and downhill. If you have questions, the participants from previous years can provide most (if not all) answers: Tim Cooke (Color Sgt) Russell Smith Mike Walsh Vernon Johnston Greg Walsh Note: This parade is fairly easy. There is one turn at the end of the route The Pipe Band will stop at several points along the route play a tune and then continue. In past parades, we were made very welcome; the people along the route were very happy to see us. (Rumor has it that everyone who attends is elegible for the Timothy Lally award). Contact the Post Color Sergeant for further information: Tim Cooke	SAMS Tribute to Women A change to the National S.A.M.S. annual membership dues went into effect June, 2004. The dues are now $25.00 per year. Read Rowena Williamson's letter to Tim Lally

AGM We will hold our AGM after the opening ceremony on Saturday at the Enumclaw games. The main item on the agenda is the election of officers. This year we have to elect a Vice Commander, Adjutant and Color Sergeant. Bruce Birchall has offered his services as Adjutant/Treasurer. THANKS Bruce. Whidbey Island. We are all set to attend the games. Please note the change of venue to Langley Middle School. There will be tickets at the gate for members of the Color Guard and we will be able to park on the soccer field. Take care. Peter.
