Greetings and thank you...

THANK YOU Brethren! The request was made for your support and you answered the call. On April 24th we held our annual spring chicken BBQ fund-raiser, the proceeds of which are to go towards replacing our aging HVAC systems. On the following Monday, the Rainbow Girls held their regular meeting where it was discovered that the upstairs HVAC unit was not working. As it turned out the compressor had died and the time to replace the unit had finally arrived. Thanks to your overwhelming response to the fund-raiser, a generous donation from our Eastern Star Chapter, and everyone else involved with the project, we were able to replace the unit quickly and painlessly. I commend you and thank you for your hard work and generous donations. Many members have remarked to me over the years at the unexpected fun and fellowship they discovered while participating in these fund-raisers. The chance see old friends again, the chance to meet new ones, and the bonds that form as we come together to accomplish a common goal are some of the immeasurable aspects that tend to get overlooked. I hope that everyone will come together again to make our fall chicken BBQ fund-raiser that benefits our home in Greensboro , as successful as this one. While if feels good to have a successful fund-raiser that benefits our lodge, it is much more satisfying to do something that benefits others who are truly in need. Again I thank you all for your hard work and generous donations. Job well done!!
