Happy 4th of July!!

Today our family took a trip downtown to celebrate the 4th of July!  We didn't have any fireworks b/c of all the fires lately, but it was OK with us.  I think Caden would most likely cried the whole time.  Adam and some of the coaches helped set up an event and they even made the front page of the paper!  Adam's picture was blown up huge on the Silver City Sun Times http://www.scsun-news.com/

As Mimi said, it was a nice 4th for the Family, probably a little more work than I have been used to on this holiday. Myself and some of our staff and players worked for a few hours yesterday and today setting up and tearing down a set up for the local Kiwanis Club. The Kiwanis Club is based on helping kids and this is their major fund raiser here in Silver. The vast majority of the people in the group are 50+ with a lot being 60 or older and there was a lot of work for them to do, so they needed the help. They were very grateful for our help and we definitely expanded the support of our program in town.

The new president of the University was also on hand at his 1st public event. He told me immediately when I talked with him that he had heard for numerous people he had met that we were doing a great job as a program building support in the community and that is what WNMU needs. I really believe he has the right vision for WNMU and that we will be able to help him build that vision.

Mimi also volunteered at the 4th of July event and Caden was on hand for a while so everyone could tell us how cute he is, which he is freaking adorable (just being honest). It was a good day for everyone, one of many great 4th of July celebrations for the Clarks.
