We are slowly reopening and getting up and running after the COVID-19 closure. Nina, our clerk, has returned to work after a very long vacation and time off due to the virus. I want to thank Judy Sousa for coming in daily to open mail and answer phone messages as well as helping us clean the Lodge. There are a lot of behind-the-scene changes that influence the daily administration of the Lodge. Please feel free to come by and see what is different.
I want to welcome the new members initiated on June 17: Daniel Boballot, Tim Cruz, Katherine Kirkpatrick, Gary Ogle, Adam Pritchard, William Seramin and Crystal Velasco. Dave Frazer and Nicole Pacheco attended the ritual as well. We still have candidates waiting in the wings for initiation, which will take place during the second meeting in July.
The 1st meeting in July (July 1st) the drawing will take place until we have 2 $200 winners from in the room, because we missed the April Drawing due to COVID-19.
Brad Smith , PER, DDGER, Lodge Secretary
