House Committee: The summer months are upon us and usually that means that things at the Lodge slow down as other s activities pick up! It is no different this year. There are not a lot of activities planned for June and July because of this slowdown in business. I want to remind all our members that the House Committee meeting is open to anyone who would like to attend. Starting in June the meetings will be held on the 2 nd Tuesday of each month. This is to allow us to report any changes at the first Lodge meeting of each month instead of the 2 nd and to bring anything that might be of concern to the Trustees in a more timely manner as well. June Happy Hour will be 3-4 pm and coin day will be on Thursday. On June 9 th we will have a New Member Appreciation Night. All of our new members will be invited down for a free meal of hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans and chips. The cost for all other will only be $5.00. We are encouraging our members to invite a guest. Any member who brings a guest that night will be given a ticket for a chance at several prizes we will have available that evening. Also in June, on the 17 th we will be serving an enchilada dinner with rice & beans and chips & salsa for $9.00. July Happy Hour will be 4-5 pm and coin day will be on Mon. On July 4 th the Lodge hours will be 12 2 pm. Don t forget our 6-7 pm Happy Hour Monday Friday. After a long workday stop by and relax.
