Vol. 59, No. 11 November 2017

I can’t believe it’s already November. This year has really gone by too fast.

The outside of the building is looking great! It’s amazing what some paintwill do to spruce the place up. We will be starting the inside of the diningrooms very soon. Please, pardon our mess as we make our lodge the bestit can be.

There is a lot going on the next month or so. Be sure to check the calendar.Our next big event will be our Veteran’s Dance on the 18th. Please reserveyour seats at the bar. All the money raised by this great event stays here inIndiana. Every year we donate it to the Indiana VA hospitals. We will behaving Waylon T as the band, so I’m sure it will be a fun night.

We are raffling off a 22-cal Henry Golden Boy to help raise money for theVeterans so ask the bartender for tickets for your chance to win.

We will also have our Annual Member’s Thanksgiving dinner this month.Please join us for this special dinner.

A final note for business: At the first lodge meeting of the month, onNovember 2, we will hear Pam Lee’s appeal in regards to her membershipstatus.
