I cannot believe that a month has past
already. I want to thank everyone for
all of their help and support.
Marge Luca’s named was picked in the
first meeting in April and was written a
$1000.00 check for bond # 33. Thanks
for the loan Marge.
May is going to be a busy month. Kentucky Derby will be May 2nd, Mother’s
Day Services on May 10th and on May
16th we will be holding a Smoked Pork
Dinner for a local woman who is in
need of a double lung transplant. If
you missed the previous dinner this one
will be cooked again by our new members Dan and Brian. All proceeds
fromthis function will be donated to
her. We are also planning a cook out on
Memorial Day May 25th in the afternoon. Please plan on attending these
functions. Exact times will be posted
at the lodge, in the Orange Peal and
Congratulations to our Elk of the
month Robert Lauthain. Bob is part
of our Wednesday morning work
detail and is always willing to help
with our projects around the lodge.
Thanks Bob for all your help.
I am hoping that more members attend our lodge meetings on the 1st
and 3rd Tuesdays of the month. Come
and join in the fellowship and the
food that is offered after the meeting.
It is a good way of keeping up with
what is going on around your lodge.
It seems to me that more members
are attending functions at the lodge,
thank you for your support by taking
part.
Your dues were due March 31st.
If you have not paid them they are
due and you will be receiving a
call from our Membership Committee in the near future. If you
have paid them thank you.
Linda Lee has placed second in the
state again for her newsletter “The
Orange Peal”. It is the best newsletter as far as I am concerned. She
will be receiving an award at the
state convention at the end of the
month. Remember to get your information to Linda by the 15th of
the month for publication on the
following month. Thanks for all
your hard work Linda.
Fraternally
Yours,
Larry D. Lewis
