Administrator’s Message
Volunteers,
volunteers,
volunteers.
It’s
what drives our
lodge. We cannot
exist without them.
And now we need
them more than ever. We need
volunteers to step up and fill
offices for the upcoming year,
starting May 1st. Applications
are available at the lodge.
We also need volunteers to step
forward and help with the
upcoming Bill Miller Memorial
Battle of the Bands. We need
people to take turns watching the
entry gate to keep things
organized and fun. We also
need people to help serve food,
to clean up or to just help keep
things organized.
Volunteers are further needed
to finish the painting of the
exterior of the building. What
has been done so far looks
great. Let’s finish the job!
Fraternally,
Roy Rawlings
Administrator
WOTM Corner
Ladies,
In case you didn’t know, the
WOTM puts on a dinner before
our meetings on the 1st and 3rd
Wednesdays of each month. It is
only $5.00 per plate and we have
great food. In fact, we will have
a special St. Patrick’s Day dinner
before our meeting on March
16th.
Our meetings in March are on
Wednesday, March 2nd and
Wednesday, March 16th at
7:30 pm. As always, if you
have any ideas and/or would like
a say in how the Chapter does
things, please come to our meetings. Hope to see you there.

Membership News
Welcome to our newest members:
Bryant Blake, sponsor Scooter
Neel; and
Chris Gatlin, sponsor Br yant
Blake;
We also welcome Jim Bedgood
who transferred to our lodge.
Our Life Membership Raffle is
complete. There are no spots
left. That means we will be
drawing for the life membership
this month! We will draw for
one person to receive a lifetime
membership in the Quincy Lodge
or Chapter. A life membership in
a lodge has a value of $1,000. A
life membership in a chapter has
a value of $400.
One of the FBMA membership
campaigns ends this month. If
you sponsor 3 members between
January 1, 2016 and March 31,
2016, you will be entered into a
drawing for $100 (a drawing
each month). If you sponsor 6
members, you will be entered
into a drawing for $500 which
will be held at the Mid-Year
conference in April. In addition,
if our lodge is Plus 1 on the Friday at Mid-Year (April 15th),
then the lodge will be entered
into a drawing for $1,000. This
is a win-win situation for our
membership and for you and our
lodge. Let’s make this happen
Quincy!
The lodge also can win $1,000 in a
quarterly drawing if we have one
of the highest percentage of renewals for the month. So let’s get calling our current members who are
set to expire this month and get
them to renew their dues.
