From the East.......
Brethren,
First things first - I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those who attended our annual installation of officers on Saturday, January 4th. We had a nice gathering (would have been nice to have more of course), a really good installing "Team", and were able to get the majority of the 2025 officers installed. Worshipfuls Larry Wuertz, Ted Morris, and Thomas Johnson (29 Palms) collectively did a fantastic job of making it all look easy. The lunch that followed (from Chipotle) was excellent, and there was a nice Lodge-themed cake for dessert. Thank you to those of you that assisted in making it all possible, and to those who took time out of their busy lives to attend. Support within and among the brethren should always be a high priority.
For February's stated business meeting (Wednesday, the 5th), brother Beltran-Soto and his lovely wife Diana will be bringing tamales. We will have appropriate side dishes to accompany them, so come hungry. $10 pp is usual and customary. We'll start eating at 6, have our meeting at 7, and should have everyone out in a reasonable amount of time. Since February is Valentine's month, we encourage you to bring you spouse or significant other with you.
The Colorado River Fair is fast approaching and we plan on 'covering' the exhibit building again this year. This helps bring in some extra funds, and increases our visibility within the community. There will be a sign-up sheet available at the stated meeting. Your time and participation will be greatly appreciated! The dates are March 13th through the 16th.
The Hall Association will provide a brief report at the meeting to get everyone caught up on some improvements that have, and are still in progress to the building. The Hall Grant we applied for and received has been a tremendous help in getting some much needed things done.
I hope you all are well, and will plan on showing up for the February meeting, and as always please refer to the enclosed calendar for scheduled activities.
Fraternally,
Jeff Gatchell
