Men's Pool Shark for June

Mr. Ron Rowe is our June "Pool Shark" with 33 win points this month. This is Ron's 14th title
since 1998. We want to remind you that the Pool Room is about 40 degrees cooler than
outside, so you may join us on Wednesday nights from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Good company and
the competition is so-so.

SUN LAKES REPUBLICAN CLUB
AUGUST 17TH MOVIE NIGHT

Please note that the meeting is on the third Tuesday, August 17th at 7:00 PM in the Arizona
Room of Sun Lakes Country Club, 25601 S. Sun Lakes Blvd. We normally meet on the 2nd
Tuesday of the month.

Pinal County Sheriff, Paul Babeu, will speak on the daily life of one of his deputies so that the
audience can get a real sense of what is going on at the border.

An informative documentary, entitled "Border War" will be shown. It tells the true story of 5
people directly impacted by the "illegal problems" at our border: a border patrol agent, the
widow of a police officer killed by an illegal, a legal immigrant who started "Legal Immigrants
Against Illegal Immigration," a rancher, and a man who aids those crossing illegally into the
US. For information, contact Patricia Koepp.

ongoing project which helps the homeless and hungry in our area. For more information you
can find flyers at the Sun Lakes community buildings or call Ruth Kloner or Grace Roth. They
are eagerly looking forward to meeting new members.
