June 17th: Happy Fathers Day!

A Message From The Exalted Ruler A Message From The Leading Knight
Kira Wagner Kira Wagner
Time waits for no one and boy, it is
flying by here at the lodge!
It is so easy to find fault these days
with what was done wrong, what
wasn’t done, what should have be
done differently…well, you get the
idea. We all have our own ideas of
“how” something “should” be and
too often, we are quick to remind
someone else of those “facts”.
Here at the lodge there are a LOT of things that could
be improved, just look around and you will probably
spot something that needs some attention. And that is
just what is on the surface (So go on, help us!).
Also, as a national non-profit organization, and as
committee chairs and officers know all too well, there
are dozens of reports and records that are required as
we prepare for our Association Vice-President’s visita-
tion on June 6.
As we move into summer (there are only 30 Monday’s
until Christmas!) we have the Flag Day BBQ / Flag
Retirement and Chili Cook-Off this month out at the
Trap Range, as well as food, music and friendship
happening at the lodge. These activities don’t happen
on their own so I want to give a shout out to the many
members who take the time to make it all work.
Some faces are here more frequently than others, but Kira Wagner, ER
all have a hand in making this lodge a place where
With Theme Child at CHEA Convention
friends can meet Veteran’s, Youth and our community
are all supported throughout the year.
When you encounter one of these folks…please take a
moment and say “thank you” - Alexa Rogers, Bob
