We are off and running into our new year as the weather warms up and we look forward to getting back to “normal”. Special thanks to the Pool Committee as they have been working extremely hard cleaning all areas of the pool. This includes our large deck and shelter area, the pool house and all of our chairs and lounges. Also, you might have seen them in the cold water cleaning out the main pool and baby pool!

Last month, I had the honor to install our Ladies Auxiliary officers. We also celebrated their belated 50th anniversary since the pandemic prevented us from doing it last year. Our Lodge would not be as successful as we are without the support and hard work from them. We truly appreciate everything they do for the Lodge.

Also, I am proud to announce our Lodge had two winners in our State Americanism Contest. Lauren Day and Kari Boughton both placed first in our district and won second place at the State level. A presentation was made at our Lodge meeting recognizing their great achievements.

Our House Committee is planning on a lot of great events this year so please continue to utilize our social media to see what is going on each week. We encourage all members to support the Lodge all year to help us remain financially sound and to get the most out of your membership.

Please be sure to check out all of our Upcoming events on the weekly email blast and/or website.
