Judith,Jaime, Ben, Tony, the 2 Robertsand Matt who also gave a lot oftime and effort. Our basketdonators Denise and Eddie Tacoand our grand prize basketShirley and Lee Schwartz. Ipersonally cannot thank all ofyou enough. I would be remiss not torecognize and thank the silentgiants of our lodge…SandyMathews and The EmblemClub. Never getting really thefull acknowledgement of theirefforts, our auxiliary Ladieshave proven time and time againto be the driving force behindour great lodge. From MondayNight Football to Sundaybreakfasts you will find theseg r e a t w o m e n h a p p i l yvolunteering their time andfinances.

Who knows, maybeyou’ll make a new friend or two

Iron sharpeneth iron; so aman sharpeneth thecountenance of his friend.Proverbs 27:17

Fellow members,

When I joined, I was told weare known as the “friendliestLodge” and it was so true. Imet so many nice friends here.This is a great reputation wehave. I ask that all of youintroduce yourself andengage our new members inactivities and keep themcoming back. Their 1st

experience at the Lodgeshould be fun and enjoyablewith a list of new friends. Wemust also remember when wecome to the Lodge, we shouldexpect to have a good time.As one friend of mine says“If you don’t have a goodtime, its your own darn fault”.

I would like to invite all of youto the Oktoberfest celebrationon Saturday October 13. Getyour tickets early because Iam expecting we will sell out.I have contracted a greatOmpah Band to play someBavarian polka music, I amsure you will enjoy. Come joinin the fun and games and Iwill guarantee you will have agreat time.

The Laughlin Trip is alsocoming up. It was my 1st triplast year. Rosie and I had agreat time. We start off hereat the Lodge, Drinks startpouring at Kellogg Hill, andthe party begins. It is theopportunity to meet newfriends, have fun, party on theBus. The fun never stops tillyou return.

Loyal Knight,Robert Leon

Members,

I would like to invite you aswe launch the new menus foryour dining pleasure; the KickOff is Friday August 31st.Invite your family and friendshave a great dinner along witha great cocktail or beverage.As with all new changes thereare bound to be some kinksbut it won’t be anything wecan’t overcome or fix. OurClub Manager Becky and herstaff along with the HouseCommittee have puttremendous effort in makingthis successful and we hopeyou will enjoy the results. Giveus your feedback but firstgive us a chance.

As you will read in some ofthe other articles from theHouse Committee andTrustees we have turned aprofit for the first quarter ofthe year, this in itself is causefor “cautious celebration”however we need to be verycareful as we move forwardbut it is very clear that we havefound the right path. With thenewly formulated andappointed 5 member HouseC o m m i t t e e , o u r C l u bManager, and your LodgeTrustees and by allowing themthe opportunity to worktogether to do their job theyhave been able to reign in ourcost and turn in a profit. Icommend them all for theirhard work for a Job WellDone! We would be foolishto believe that our Lodge isout of the woods, therefore itwill take careful and closeobservation of our financesand strict management toavoid any potholes or pitfallswe may encounter along ourway. The summer monthshave customarily been theLodges slowest months of theyear so we must treadcarefully until we get throughthem.
