A Note from The Membership ChairmanTed Carpenter

We are doing fairly well on our membership goals, although we still neednew members signed up to help increase our members on the rolls.If you sponsor a new member between now and the end of the year, thenew member only has to pay a $10.00 enrollment fee making the total tojoin is $75.00.We had a great New Member Luncheon and Orientation on 11-14-15. Thenew members that were in attendance were very happy with the presenta-tion that our Governor and Senior Regent presented to them. The Womenof the Moose prepared a wonderful lunch, as they always do!! I don’t knowwhat this Lodge would do, without these wonderful Ladies!!Kathy and I will be going south in our RV to warmer climates but if anyquestion I can be reached by e-mail or cell phone at tkcar@sbcglobal.net orcell 209-471-0448Ted CarpenterMembership chairman

Wasn’t all that rain wonderfulthat came our way right beforeour November Work Day?Hope it keeps up and bringsthings back to normal. We hada few hardy workers show upto tackle things. Diane Freiergave the women’s storage areaa good cleaning and organiza-tion. Scott Freier, Bob Arnold,Karl Malmin Dan Leary andTed and Kathy Carpenter tookcare of the kitchen duties,checked out our emergencylights and put up the lights out-side on the walkway canopy.That sure looks nice. Thelawn was cut, fertilized and thewater sprinklers turned off forthe winter.Our next Work Day is an im-portant one and we can use allof the help we can get. De-cember Work Day also in-cludes decorating the lodgefor our Christmas Parties.So, come on down on Decem-ber 1 between 9am to noonand help us make the placelook jolly. We might evenhave some hot chocolate andcider to keep us warm.Thanks again to all of ourmembers who give their timenot only on our work days, butall year long. We have a won-derful lodge and I am so thank-ful of all of the work that getsdone.Jean Lestanguet
