EXALTED RULER’S MESSAGE:
The month of May brings on several events at our Lodge that you might want to attend. On Tuesday the 3rd we will be initiating a
new class of members into the order. If you haven't been to one recently, perhaps you would like to attend the ceremony. Please
sign up for the dinner so we can have a count on those attending.
May 8th brings in the Mothers Day Brunch from 8 to 10 AM, free for all Moms and young children with a nominal charge for others,
and will conclude with the Mothers Day Ritual. Again you must sign up at the Lodge.
Tickets are now on sale for Jewish American Night, our last one until September. All of our Nationality Nights are an excellent meal
and great socialization. Hope you can join us on May 10th for this event.
Congratulations to Todd Shanafelt and Pat McGrath for sharing the April Elk of the Month Title. Their dedication and assistance to
the Lodge has earned them this honor. Thank you for everything.
Fraternally,
John Glenowicz, PER
