What a successful month we’ve had to kick off our new year at the Lodge! Both the Board of Trustees and House Committee have
been working hard to make this year even more enjoyable for our members. I thank each Trustee and House Committee member for
your dedication to the lodge!
As of this writing, your chair officers are putting in some grueling practices to get ready to represent the Lodge in the Ritual Contest held in Ukiah the first weekend of this month. We’ll be competing against eight other lodges in the District. We’ll announce the outcome of this contest at our second meeting next month on Wednesday, May 15th. Regardless of the outcome, my thanks to all our chair officers along with coaches Sherie and Kurt Bialous for all your hard work. We’re all coming home winners – ready to impress our new members in upcoming initiations.
We have another busy month ahead at the Lodge, and I encourage you to come on out and enjoy yourselves. Highlights of our May events are featured throughout this issue of Herd Talk. Don’t forget. This is YOUR lodge. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Either contact me in person or drop your suggestions in the Exalted Ruler’s suggestion box in the hallway.
Remember our theme for 2019-20: “Deeds. Not words!”
Gwen Carroll, Exalted Ruler
