June’s Event: What a marvelous experience! We had a large group of about 57+ people. We picked up Kendall Hinton in Cedar City as well as purchased umbrellas and extra socks ( because of the great cloudburst of rain) then headed to Iron town. This was very interesting since it has been restored 
within the last few years. Many of us had not seen all the great changes. 
Bro. Hinton was very knowledgeable, providing details of how Iron Town was settled and what went on there. When it was discovered, they decided it contained one of the largest deposits of iron ore in America! Several companies showed a big interest in 
developing it and many people settled in Iron town. At one time there were more people living there, than in Cedar City. One of the most interesting sites was the ovens that were used to make the charcoal from the nearby wood forests. The remains of the smelter is there also. For a number a years they produced tons of iron ore. Some was used to make tools and some was shipped to SLC and other places. We were able to spend quite a bit of time looking around and asking questions about the area. It has taken on the look of summer resort homes, including a man-made lake. Kendall said several companies still have interest in the iron ore. It is interesting to note that we probably hit the first traffic jam in Pinto area. The Bloomington Hills Stake was having their handcart trek, with several hundred participants 
and they were having a great time. We stopped in Pinto and saw the nice cabins and lovely summer homes there, but the trek people were 
going to use the Hafen's home and grounds for their lunches with their families, so we decided to drive on to Mountain Meadows to eat our lunch. We want to give special thanks to Wayne and Margene Edwards who provided lunch for us. The rains held out until NEARLY the end of trek. After lunch Kendall gave a great presentation on the events that lead up to
and after the Mountain Meadows Massacre. We saw the beautiful monument that was 
dedicated by President Hinckley a few years ago. It was a very stirring experience to hear and 
even feel the events that happened there. Kendall has done a lot of research on this area and is one of the foremost experts about what happened. (he knew all the dates, all the names of the people involved, the outcomes, and all of the arguments for both sides! (this without NOTES) He told us about the churches stand on the events and how President Hinckley was able to appease both sides with his feelings of love and forgiveness for all. We all felt like it was a great event, and best of all we learned a lot...Thanks so much to David Isom and Wayne Edwards for the report this month!
July’s Activity: We will be serving breakfast the morning of the 24th at the Hurricane City Park. Breakfast will begin at 7:00 a.m. 
and will consist of wonderful, delicious pancakes, sausage and Orange Juice. The cost of the breakfast will be $5.00 per person. We have done this now for the past two or three years as a fund raiser, and it has been great. We hope you will help support us that early morning, either just before the parade, or just after.

We appreciate knowing what is happening to our members. For those who haven’t heard, Lavar McAllister has undergone surgery on his heart, and appears to be recovering well. Also, Bob and Alice Reeve were in an accident and broke legs and Alice injured her back and will have to be down for at least 8 weeks. They are recovering, and are well taken care of.
