L P C A A A Annual Picnic held August 25th

50 members attended the 2007 Annual Picnic. The weather was perfect, the food was great, and everyone had a good time. We gave L t . Parker a statue as a gift for all his support over the years.

Lt . Parker will be retiring on October 8, 2007. Thanks to all of the other supporters of the L P C A A A for all their hard work.
