Trestleboard

March 2007

 

FROM THE EAST
I am happy to report to you again that sup­port at our two meetings in February was still very good. We are well on our way to having an outstanding year.

Brother Steve Whaley is doing well after his open heart surgery. We miss him! We also have several other Brothers and their wives that are experiencing health problems. We will report on their conditions at our first March meeting.

The official visit of the DDGM will be at our first of the month meeting. We need you to come out and support the Lodge for his visit.

Ticket donations for the Fish Fry have been slow.

This is a prime fund raising event. We need donations for our local charitable events.

Please, please just ask folks if they want a ticket. They are aware of how good the fish

is. Just ask them and they will come !

Our child ID event is starting to snowball. To date we have four corporate sponsors, help from the Sheriff's Department, Marion County Schools, VFW, Belleview Police, and The Fire Department. On display will be fire trucks, T.G. Lee's marketing van and Balloon, and I hope, a 1925 Model T Milk Truck. There is some talk of a helicopter as well.

It should be a fun and very important date for all, We need Brothers to man the cameras and ladies to work the permis­sion table and guide the children to the cameras. The children are much less in­timidated if a lady is helping them.
Please volunteer today for this very wor­thy cause. I say again that if we save just one child from a horrible fate, we will have made a tremendous difference in our community.

I want to thank all of my officers and the Brothers that are attending Lodge for their help and the fine job they are doing.

Fraternally,

John Paul Pisani

 

We always need help at our Fund Raisers— please find time to help out! It is always appreci­ated and makes things run more smoothly. PLEASE GET THOSE DONATIONS!

NOTES FROM THE LODGE
Sickness and distress- Keep the following brothers and families in your prayers: Brother Steve Whaley (especially that he follows Doctor's orders), Brother Jim SJausen, Brother Bill Green's wife, Judy, Brother Junisus Clemmons, and all those not mentioned.

Another big thanks to Brother Allen Brandlein for fixing the light in the Lodge Room.
