Upon
the arrival of this newsletter, Christmas and New Years'have come and
gone. I hope that each and everyone had a blessed holiday season! The
Lodge was very busy with parties every weekend of December. Thanks to
those who gave their time during the busy season, to help out with the
parties. As always, we are in need of volunteers to help out with Friday Night Kitchen. If you are interested in working a Friday night please let me know. If you have never worked in the kitchen, thats okay, we can show you the ropes, its easy. Now that a new year is here, take time to reflect back to the past year and ask yourself what did I do for the Lodge and what can I do for this year? The future of our Lodge depends upon each of us. Fraternally,

Ladies Auxiliary News Happy
New Year. Our meeting on December 13th was very well attended by 30
members and one guest (Eugenia Lander). We had a wonder" Holiday Meal"
before our meeting with over 60 people. Many members suggested that we
should do this more often. We had so many different dishes that our
plates were not big enough to try everything. Thank you everyone for
making this such a enjoyable evening out. After our meeting we had our
annual gift exchange. Raffle Tickets:
The auxiliary presented a gift certificate to Dale Rigas for all of her time and materials she donated for our raffle ticket sales. A big thank you to all who sold and purchased tickets. This was a great success this year and we all agreed that this was a good time of the year to sell tickets. The winners of the raffle tickets are: 1 st prize $ 211.00 Josie Nutting 2nd prize $ 126.60 Doris Dean 3rd prize $ 84.40 Ted Majka Craft Show, Saturday, March 12,2005: Robin Little has distributed flyers and applications, she has had some applications submitted to her already.

We all agreed to ask Caroline Harrington if she would like to take care of the bake sale again this year and Dale Rigas has offered to help. Great job and thank all for your continued support of the auxiliary. Past President Plaque: Thank you Jean Sellect for taking care of updating the Past President Plaque.

Our
first children's Christmas party was held on Dec 12th. There was not a
lot of children, but For the ones that were there, had a great time.
Games were played, Refreshments of cupcakes, made by Ladies of the
Auxiliary, and punch was served.
The highlight of the party, of course, was the visit from Santa. All children had the chance to sit on Santa's lap and had their picture taken. Santa played one game of musical chairs with the children, but when their was no chair for Santa, he landed on his butt on the floor, Really made the children laugh! Thanks to Pam Nicholas for all her time and dedication to this first time event. Hopefully we'll have more children to attend next years party. Thanks Sue E.R. |
