Please support your Lodge and make every attempt to fulfill the requested New Years Resolution to obtain ONE (1) Business Associate Member.

 

This month the Lodge will kick off its Independence Day Raffle. We will be raffling off a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 Rifle (Kel-Tec-cnc.com/sub2000.html). The rifle has a valve of $406 and was donated by Brother Will Berdit.

Tickets for this raffle will not be mailed to all members, in an effort to limit our expenses. The raffle tickets will be $1 each or 6 for $5 and may be obtained at the March meeting or from Brother Joe Hall (828-349-3477) or Brother John O'Connor (828-349-0698). Brother Joe Hall will also be setting up sales tables at local stores. If you can donate some time please contact Brother Joe Hall
