We will have a Fraternal Family Night in May. The date will be announced at the May 8th meeting and communicated out via email. For those that came out and worked for Mardi Gras, the meal will be at no cost. For all others wanting to come out and have a good time, the meal will be $15.00 for a steak, potato, and salad. If you would like a burger and fries, the meal will be $5.00. Please let Sam Authement or Warren Michel know if you are coming so we can plan accordingly. The bar will be open.
A motion was made at the April 10th Regular Meeting to research and look at the feasibility and cost of installing an elevator in the Main Street Lodge. At the April 24th meeting I reporting that while looking at websites for elevators, I inquired about replacement cost of a new chair lift. Based on specifications a new chair lift would run about $3,500. The Board of Directors will look at the options and make their recommendations.
Yours in Brotherhood,
Sam Authement PER
