Good morning ABA Family!!

Hope all our friends survived the big Canada Day celebrations!!
Best wishes to those of you that are celebrating your birthday or ABA anniversary today!

Remember there are only two weeks left of the ABA poker tournament to secure a spot at
the final table!! Lots of great prizes, come give it a try!!

Ok, it's time to start preparing for Saturday, the 4th of July!! Wish all our Canadian friends could
come join us in our celebration! Lakers is going to brave the crowds again this year with his
wonderful party.....I think Crystal Dragon is also planning a big blowout, just to name a few. Be
safe and sane, at least for the early part of the day (the sane part...lol) always be safe. DO NOT
DRINK and DRIVE, if you hit a bump you'll spill it all over yourself! Seriously, please make sure if you
plan on drinking, have a designated driver or plan or spending the night, or call a cab. Cab fare is
cheap compared to the price of a life!!! It's a very patriotic fun day, with lots of picnics, parades and
parties. God bless our Troops, please let them come home safe and soon!

Very good weather for us, hope the rest of the our ABA nation is experiencing better weather.

Even if you aren't feeling well, try to do something fun for this holiday, once you are out and about, you may
find you forget about your pains and ills if only for a short time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers for
a happy and healthy life. Special prayers for our Troops, both home and abroad, including our Vets and all
their families. We thank you so much for all that you do and have given for our freedoms.

New Arcade section coming soon for ABA members to enjoy and spend a little idle time until we are all back
up and running full force again (and it will happen!). Ncliff and others are testing it right now and getting it ready
for everyone to enjoy!! Another reason to be here with us and stay close to ABA!!

"Each one of us has to go through difficult times in life. The road may be very long and rough... But it becomes shorter
and easier to tread upon with the love and support of good friends. So reach out to them with a warm hug and kind words."

Don't take anyone or anything for granted. Don't ever put your dreams on hold because of disappointments or setbacks.
Hope you have a wonderful Thursday! Thank you my dear friends. Have fun and be safe!!
