Hello Members:
I hope all of you had a great holiday. It sure came very fast this year. The Lodge has been very busy with lots of Christmas parties and other events. Don't forget the Crab Feed on January 12th, tickets are on sale at the Bar. We also have a luncheon for our State President Bob Duitsman on Friday, January 18th. We would like members to attend and meet him. Let us know if you want to come.
At our last Lodge meeting on December 5th, we initiated five new members into the Lodge: David Aten, Michele Carter, Jan Garrett, Susan Gott and Craig Musgrave. We also welcomed William Wells who transferred to our Lodge from the Carmichael Lodge. Welcome to all of you!!
One of our Associate Members, Bill Nastek, donated a bunch of bicycles for the CHP toy drive. Thank you, Bill, we appreciate it so much. Also the toy drive surpassed previous years. Thank you to all the members who so generously donated toys for the toy drive.
We also had a wonderful Members Christmas party this year with 73 members attending. There was an ugly sweater contest and great appetizers enjoyed by all. Thanks to our great kitchen for all the great food they prepared.
Please keep in mind, there are still 27 members who are delinquent with their dues. If you are one of them, please consider paying them. I have to drop any member who has not paid their dues by the end of March 2019. All the best to you all for the New Year.
