Hi All, Just a few lines for this months letter. We have our Vet names on the mirrors in the lounge. Stop by, pick one up, buy a gift, and bring it back to the lodge wrapped and we will take them to the Claremore Veterans hospital the week before Christmas, so dont wait too long. We will also be taking the power chair, presents, and cash from our fund raising events. Anybody wanting to attend is welcome to go. This is very important, so step up and do your part if possible. I want to talk a little about the gossip in the lodge. Its something thats not acceptable and should not be part of your visit to the lodge. If you dont have something good to say about somebody, then dont say anything at all. If theres something you have a problem with, bring it up at the meetings or the House Committee meeting, or put it in a sealed envelope and give it to me. You all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you at the lodge! Remember... Bring a Friend, Then Make Them a Member!
MEMBERSHIP, MEMBERSHIP, MEMBERSHIP!
