Summer is here!! Your officers are back from Ritual and the State Convention. Our lodge received two Presidential Achievement Awards at the convention for the year 2018-2019, thank you PER Dennis Hunter!! I hope this year we will earn the necessary points so that at next year’s convention our lodge will be awarded Achievement Awards again.
We will be celebrating Flag Day at our lodge Sunday, June 9th from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. PER Gary Payne has been working on this celebration and this is promised to be a great event that we all should be attending and bring our children or grandchildren to. There will be a spaghetti feed and music. Look in this edition of Herd Talk for more information on this event.
Don’t forget Father’s Day is June 16th and the lodge will be open for breakfast. Bring your father or join him at the lodge to celebrate his special day. This month we will be hosting the Veteran’s Car Show, June 27th from 11:00 to 3:00 pm with awards to be presented at 3:30. Come on out and check out the cars.
Our lodge is hosting the Jamboree this year and we will need volunteers for the weekend of August 16-18. The agenda for the weekend will be: Friday Night Cook Your Own Steak, Saturday will have chowder cook-off, Jenga competition, Prime Rib dinner, entertainment of Clint Ingbretson and Ila Selene (a dynamic musical duo), and an auction. Sunday will finish the weekend with breakfast. If you have not been to a Jamboree weekend, you don’t want to miss this one! All of this for $60 per person.
I hope to see you at the lodge! Remember we are an all-volunteer lodge and our success is because of you!! Volunteer and make our lodge even better. Thank you to all our volunteers!
