Last Meeting
We last met on Friday, June 12th at 7:00pm. This was an adjustment to our regular first Friday of the month due to our 3rd District biannual Convention. At least 10 members of our Lodge, including our President, attended the Convention on June 4th through 7th. As is our usual delightful method, this meeting was preceded at 6:00pm by our BBQ Dinner on the Patio. Tickets for the Sunday afternoon Ducks September 13th Baseball game were sold at this meeting. The cost still is $16 per ticket for the few that still remain..
Next Meeting
The next meeting will be on Friday, September 11th at 7:00 pm.
