As we start our new year, let’s be positive in our
actions and communications. We have a
new Governor, Al Schran, and let’s give him all the
support that we can muster. Look for some
changes in the next year that will improve our lodge.
We
will be looking for chairmen for the various committees. Please say yes when you are asked. We will be also looking for chairmen for the
special projects that will be coming up, such as painting, carpet, drapes, retaining
walls, changing the wall paper and other projects. Remember, “A burden heavy for one is borne
lightly by many”.
Participation
at our Friday and Saturday night functions is still on the light side. Would some of you consider forming an
Entertainment Committee to select a theme, a menu, a cook and appropriate
music? We could also use some volunteers
to help serve the meals as we have only one team that does the serving. We at one time had five teams and no one got
“burned out”.
Please
be aware that our dinner prices include 9.25% in sales taxes. On a $15.00 dinner the tax is $1.27, $17.50
dinner $1.48 and a $20.00 dinner $1.69.
This money passes through to the state and as such we do not get any
benefit.
Is
there someone out there who would like to learn to be a bartender? There are only three of us (myself included).
We
are going to strive to reactivate our Moose Legion Committee and have some
functions and attend the quarterly celebrations and have some fun. We also need to attend our district meetings
on the first Saturdays of the month. I
will do the driving if you want to see what goes on at the meetings.
We
are going to reactivate our donor boards that are in the Social Quarters. These boards are to recognize those
individuals who have contributed funds to the building fund and also to remember
those who have passed before us. There
are $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 and $500.00 boards. For instance, Winifred Davies contributed
$100.00 in memory of Lou Rasmusson so a name plate
will be placed on the $100.00 board.
Thank you, Win. The WOTM contributed
$20.00 in memory of Lou. Thank you ladies.
