Sheriff's Notes

A Message from Our Sheriff

Greetings Prescott Corral Members,

Our June Corral meeting signals we are already half-way through the year. I am looking forward to Bill Cavaliere’s presentation on “The Chiricahua Apaches: A Concise History.” Both Bill and his wife, Jill, will be traveling here from their ranch near Portal, AZ located not too far from the Chiricahua National Monument. His soft cover book on the Chiricahua Apaches will be available for $20. Please bring cash. Let’s give them a warm Westerners welcome.

At this mid-point in our year, we still have a need for a member in good standing to fill our Deputy Sheriff’s position. This is a most important role as that person will become the Sheriff in 2027. Last year, we didn’t have this position officially filled until October. That was really getting down to the “barbed wire”. We don’t want to repeat that this year as it gives little time to bring the Deputy up to speed before that person is tasked with planning our January 2027 Corral meeting in late November of this year. Just as Past Sheriff Penny addressed the Corral around this time last year, if we want to continue as a Corral in 2027, we need a Deputy,
and soon. No Deputy, no Sheriff. No Sheriff, no Corral. My email and phone number are listed below if anyone wants to talk to me about this issue or position.

Speaking of issues, if anyone has a suggestion or complaint about our buffet dinners, I’d rather you contact me or someone on the Posse about your concerns rather than addressing them directly to our servers. We will then pass those comments on to their boss. They have a tough job to do in a very short time. And remember, this is a buffet dinner, not an order-off-the-menu affair. They have an average of 90-100 people to feed in a very short time. I, for one, believe our servers and bartenders are doing a great job. I also believe we’d be
hard pressed to find another caterer that would do as fine a job feeding us at the price per meal we are now paying.

One more thing: some of you have expressed concern over the way our system of depositing your dinner reservation checks often results in a delayed clearing/posting by your bank. For the past several years, it has been our practice to make one deposit of all checks received for our dinners on the day after the Corral meeting/dinner for which they are written.

Don’t forget that June 14th is Flag Day. This would be a good time to replace your faded or tattered U.S. Flag with a new one. Happy Father’s Day to you Dads on Sunday the 21st!

Happy Trails!

Sheriff Ken
