LODGE VOTES TO CHANGE MEETING DATE

During the monthly meeting on January 21st the lodge voted approval to a new meeting date. The new meeting time will be the fourth Tuesday of each month. The time and location will remain the same.

The change was made to let some members who had a 3rd week conflict that prohibited attendance to the meeting. Hopefully, with the change additional persons who would be interested in joining our lodge will now be able to do so.
