In the past two years Grand Lodge has raised the assessments for each member twice. This year the total regular dues are
$80.00 and life dues to $40.00.
I addition to the ENF and Harry-Anna dona-
tion boxes, you will see a new box for the
Building Fund. We are working on building up a reserve for major repairs. Remember they are optional. Dues notices will be
mailed in late January.
Your support will be appreciated.

We think of our donors as heroes. They are generous, significant, appreciated, safe, important,
cool and respected. They are the key to a safe and adequate blood supply.
This year (2017), we had 150 donors x 3 which equates to 450 lives saved. A total of 2,327 miles
were driven, which equates to $1,279.85. Total hours were 226, which equates to $4,924.54.
Lori O’Brien, Donor Coordinator for One Blood.org said: “On behalf of all those lives you have
touched, the Blood Center thanks you.” Charlie Parson, Co-Chairman

*** NOVEMBER 4, Veterans Appreciation Parade ***
NOVEMBER 4, Veterans Appreciation Parade produced by Elks Lodge #2606. Last year
we had 74 entries and 1,672 participants. The media stated it was the biggest single day
event in Punta Gorda! This would not have been possible without the dedicated volunteers
of Elks #2606. It's that time of year again, and if you would like to help in this years parade,
please contact C.J. Metcalfe at [email protected]. We have the perfect spot for
you ;)
