Fran
and I would like to say thanks
to all of you who attended the
Exalted Rulers Ball. We had an
absolutely fantastic time with
all of you.
We are off to a great
start.
Our
Murder Mystery
Dinner
Show
was a
great success with
a fun
time had by
all.
A
special
thanks to our cooks Suzie
Simonelli, PER, and Alice (AJ)
Hurd;
kitchen staff Terri Turner,
Michele Nesar and Joey
!
Simonelli:
waitress
staff Tracy Suggs,
Britney Aten, and
Carolyn-Ann Suggs; door person
Judy Masinda; share-the-wealth
ticket seller Katie
Riehl;
and our bartenders Nan and
Shawn
Nicholson. What a group!
We
have a
super
group of
volunteers set up for this
year. If you would like to
join
our
volunteers and find your niche we
would love to have you. Just let
me know. We have lots of
committees and there may be one
just made for you.
As much
as we need and appreciate our
volunteers we also need and
appreciate all our members. If
you can't be
a
volunteer,
just
supporting our functions by
attending
and
I
inviting friends to see what we
are
all about
and what fund
we
can have is absolutely one of
the most important jobs
you can
do for
our Lodge. It is my commitment
to
increase
our
membership and to make this one
of our best years.
If we all
make
it
our
personal goal to invite one or
two new members
we could double
our membership,
Just
ask your children,
other
members of your family, friends
and people you come
in contact
with throughout
your
day.
You might
be surprised
I
at
how many will
say,
"(Yes"
They may
even be waiting to be
asked.
May GOD bless America and our
Troops.

Effective
November 1st 2011, some menu
items will have prices adjusted. Due to rising
food prices, some of our foods are getting
expensive! We have not had to increase any of
our prices for a while, but, unfortunately,
there are a few items that must be increased in
price as costs have doubled in some areas.
Please understand we do our best to keep prices
as low as possible, but the Grand Lodge sets
percentages for establishing Lodge prices and
adjustments must be made to stay within those
guidelines. |
