Administrator’s Corner – December 2017


We are in desperate need of cash to repair our roof. We have been trying to raise
$35,000 for a new roof for the past three years. Now, because of the delay, we
have had water damage (we don’t have flood insurance) to our elevator that will
cost an additional $6,000 to $10,000 to repair. The need is great. We are now
doing a cash sweepstakes to raise the needed funds to cover the repairs. We need
your input in purchasing tickets for the roof and in return, you will have a chance to
win some great cash prizes. Tickets are on sale at the lodge now for the drawing on
December 24th at our member appreciation party. Please help us out. Thank you.
December 3rd our Supreme Governor Willard Kitchens will be visiting us during the Packer
game. Come on down and meet him.
December 8th will be the WOTM’s Christmas cookie sale and the kid’s movie “ELF”. Come
on down and get some cookies and watch the movie.
December 9th is the kid’s Christmas party and later that night we will have Beer / Booze /
Bingo.
December 16th is the next Karaoke night to qualify for the state contest with a chance to win
and go to New Orleans for the International competition and a chance for $5,000. Contact the
lodge or Willie to get your songs lined up so you’re ready to go.
December 24th will be our annual Member Appreciation party and Tom & Jerry’s. Lots of
raffles and fun to be had.
We will be closed on Christmas day the 25th so we all can enjoy our family and friends.
It’s New Years Eve party time! This year we are going back to the old format we have had in
the past, with one new addition; Victoria’s Catering will be supplying us with our buffet dinner!
Music will be provided by one of our favorite bands, “The Classics”. Cost is $20.00 per
person, and table reservation (not required) of $25 per table. Let’s have another great party
and lots of fun bringing in the New Year!
