Well we finally have a cook in the kitchen. Her name is Liz, and I would urge
all to welcome her with open arms. She is young, and very eager to learn and
grow with us. We continue to have trouble with members stepping forward to
help serve and take money for the kitchen. PLEASE STEP UP when asked to
help as this is a great help to your lodge. Our games are gaining in popularity , with the bags , washers, and shuffleboard leading the way. The Queen of
Hearts continues to climb in value waiting for someone to claim. Again as
always if you have a idea or comment to help us make our Lodge more enjoyable for everyone please let any house member know.
SEE YOU ALL AT LODGE,
Denny Pennington HCC

HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE RAFFLE
WOW!
On September 18 we had the drawing for our Veterans’ Committee Harley Davidson motorcycle.
This was one of the largest projects our Lodge
has undertaken.
The winner was BOBBI BASH of Lake Ozark.
Ticket sales were $36,150; Donations of $2,764
for a total of $38,914. Our expenses were $13,
062.63 which leaves us $25,851.37 for our veterans’ programs!
We started this project in April and visited many
venues around the Lake during the past 5
months! I would like to thank all our members
and spouses who helped to make this a huge success and thanks to all who purchased tickets!
Thank you so much!
Bill Morris, Raffle Chairman
LODGE GRANTS UPDATE
The Gratitude Grant was used to purchase fire
safety manuals for 400 children in our local
schools. We were also able to purchase and send
personal hygiene supplies and snacks to a Platoon stationed in Afghanistan.
We will use the Beacon Grant to purchase coats,
shoes, gym shorts and other needed items for our
local underprivileged school children. You may
be asked to help shop!
Receiving these grants from the Grand Lodge is
very important to our Lodge. It is FREE money we
use to help others.
If you have any ideas for future grants, please let
me know!
Nancy Sappington, Lodge Secretary
Our 3rd Annual Veterans’ Day Parade will be
