To all,

     I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend with family and friends.  I would like to start by thanking all those who helped out while Dot was on vacation, all the people who have helped with the many picnics and functions we have had at the lodge recently, and all of those who made the golf tournament another success this year.  Everyone's help is greatly appreciated.

     The following events are upcoming.   Tonight we have Jim Haas performing in the social quarters from 7-11pm.  He is an Elvis Impersonator and runs karaoke.  A number of members have asked for him to perform here and so you all get your chance to see him tonight.  I hope to see you there.  It should be a great time.  Monday the 13th is our first, of what I hope is many to come, Officer's Day.  The officers will be cooking, serving, and bar tending for your pleasure in an effort to give back to the lodge.  All tips that we earn will go to the endowment fund.  I hope you will come out and give us your support.  Sid Alexander will be having his picnic on July 25th.  I am not sure what is on the menu yet, but look for fliers soon in the social quarters.  Sid is one of the lodge trustees and I hope you will all come out and support him for his first picnic.  We also have the State Convention in Richmond that runs from July 16th - July 19th.  I will be there and hope to see many other lodge members.

     This month is a very busy month for me personally.  There is a lot of Moose things that need to be attended to and my personal job is very busy this month.  I will be a little less visible this month for those reasons, but always feel free to come talk to me when you see me there.  You can also e-mail any time and I will try and reply in a timely manner.  I hope everyone has a nice weekend and that you come out and support our upcoming events.

Take care and God Bless,

William Bean
