PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Spring is just around the corner. I want to thank everyone who helped out and attended our Night at the Races. It's events like this that help us raise money to pay for our Scholarships andthe many Charities that we support. We can't do it with just a hand full of members, we need moreparticipation from everyone. We're working on a lot of activities in the near future and we needyour support and participation to make them a success.

We lost a few members during the past year and our numbers are down under 90 heading into 2013. This lodge is only as strong as its membership so if you didn't pay your dues please do so and keep supporting your lodge. $50 is not a lot for what the lodge gives you. How about giving back to the lodge.

It's not too late to join us for our Bus Trip to the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pa. on April 6. See Flyer for more details.We're having aPot Luck Dinneron March 12th. Check out the Flyer and come down and join us for a night of fraternalism. No meeting just good food made by you, dessert, coffee and a laugh or two. Bring the familytoo.

Wishing everyone a Blessed Easter!

Fraternally,

Peter Sarandrea
