Hopefully this year will be better thanlast year. Even though last year was great, after speaking to theTrustees,they are looking into renovations and upgrading our Lodge. We all know the biggest task is RAISING THE MONIES for those projects. I know we are planninga fund raiser. Ask our members if they have a little bit hiding in their sock drawersthat they might be able to donate. I think we can all agree that our Lodge needssome drywall and painting. Also we should be proud that we finished the yearwith a PLUS on our Membership this year. Lets keep it up the GREAT WORK!Let’s remember we had a GREAT St. Patrick's Day party. I heard thatthere are 4 big deck parties planned. I would appreciate if we all can attend andshow our support and brotherly Love.

If youhave not been drinking, make the offer. Ask the Bartender or the House chair person to call them an UBER rideto get them home. If they don’t have money for a UBER orcab, you could offer to pay for it yourself. It is a small priceto pay to keep your friends alive.If you don’t have the UBER app on your phone why notdown load it and sign up for the ride program. It reasonablypriced and you may need it sometime or you could be able tohelp save a friend. A 10 UBER ride is a lot better thanspending time at the police station or worse, at the hospital.Linda Vibbert, Esteemed Loyal KnightExalted Ruler Dinner DanceSaturday, April 7thBull Roast– Open Bar with”The River Dogs” Dance BandWe will honor a Fire Fighter and Police Officer of the year as wellas present scholarship checks to local high school students.Introduction of new officers and a salute to our outgoing officers.Please plan to attend.
