July is here and so is our fireworks booth. Check it out. We are offering a 10% discount on your purchase if you present your membership card. The fireworks booth is the major fundraiser for our youth activities and contributions so please support us as we support our local youth. There is a sign-up sheet to help in the booth, call the Lodge and get involved.
This month my husband and I will be traveling to St. Louis, MO for Grand National Convention. This should prove to be an adventure! I am sure our District Deputy will make sure all his “Brad’s Brats” will tow the line! It is an honor to represent you and our lodge. Remember the Jamboree will be at our Lodge this year and the dates are August 16-19. The weekend kicks off with Cook Your Steak which is always a favorite, Saturday will be a day filled with competition and fun. The Chowder Cook-off includes teams from visiting lodges trying to take home the gold and we will also have Jenga games with a play-off of the final two teams in the afternoon. Saturday night will be filled with
good food and fantastic entertainment by Clint Ingbretson and ILA Selene, a dynamic and unique musical duo. As always there will be an auction.
I would like to thank Gary Payne and his hard-working committee that did such a fine job in celebrating Flag Day at your lodge. If you didn’t make it here this year, mark your calendars for next year! We are looking for a Kitchen Manager, an Assistant Kitchen Manager and an Event Coordinator. Look for the ad for these positions elsewhere in this edition. These are volunteer positions but a true backbone to the
success of our lodge.
