Summer is just around the corner which means it is time to start planning for the annual picnic. I look forward to this each year, if you didn't attend last year’s, I hope you can make it this year. If you have ideas for this there will be a short meeting on 16 June at 1p.m. at the Ishpeming Armory. If child care is an issue, just bring your kids to the meeting as it should be a short one.
As always if there are any questions or concerns that you would like to talk to me about, please don't hesitate to call

“Across every Army unit and every installation, safety is everyone’s responsibility,” said Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Army chief of staff. “Leaders, Soldiers, Army civilians and Family members are encouraged to use National Safety Month to evaluate their safety measures both on and off duty.
“It’s imperative that leaders continue to make safety a priority and that Soldiers take seriously the actions that put themselves and others at risk.”

Free fishing and hunting licenses now available to military members
Active-duty military members who enlisted as Michigan residents and have maintained residence status can now obtain annual Michigan fishing or hunting licenses free of charge, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced today.
To qualify, persons must be active-duty U.S. military members and, at the time of enlistment, must have been residents of Michigan and must have maintained residence status for the purposes of obtaining a driver's license or voting. These individuals may receive, free of charge, a resident military all-species fishing license or any hunting license for which a lottery is not required.
Applicants must present proof of military status when applying for the free license. Proof of military status may include military I.D., leave papers, duty papers, military orders or other evidence verifying that the applicant is a member of the military. The licenses are available at DNR Customer Service Centers and at license retail outlets statewide.
