The meeting scheduled for January 9th has been postponed due to a conflict. The meetings for this month will be on Jan. 23 and Jan 30 at 7 pm.

Another year has come and gone and once again, positive changes have been made in our lodge and behind the bar. These changes have definitely improved the lodge as well as the working environment. It's amazing how the smallest improvements can make things so much easier for us. We do not take those things for granted. First, we would like to personally thank Joe Z, for all he has done to make things better for us. There are too many things to name but none are left unnoticed. We would also like to thank Bobby Ilse for de-icing the coolers and fixing little things that we ask him to fix and always in a timely manner. Santa finally came with a big gift. After "swimming" behnd the bar for a few weeks (due to a flooding dishwasher) we finally have a new one! THANK YOU to the Board of Officers (and Santa too). To the members who grab a broom when they hear a glass shatter, or grab a towel when something spills; and for those of you who dump the front garbage when it’s full without being asked: THAN YOU! For the members who have taken orders, cleared tables, and who always cleared their table when they get up to leave. THANK YOU: To our devoted football fans. THANK YOU! For another successful season. We will see you at Super Bowl, February 5th. We have a very busy lodge and we THANK YOU, THE MEMBERS for always being patient with us and respectful when we are busy. We always do our best to take care of you and we THANK YOU for always taking care of us! Our lodge is successful because we have learned to work together~ THANK YOU! Merry Christmas and have a safe New Year!

Your Bartenders,
Kimberly, Bob, Eileen, Dawn & Trish

WANTED SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS
It seems that some of our salt & pepper shakers along with some of our ash trays and silverware have decided to leave the Lodge. We believe that some of them may be thrown away when the tables are cleaned off, but like Toy Story, some may have grown legs and decided to explore the world. You can help us by making sure that the S&P shakers and ash trays are not discarded and if you see any of them jumping into a pocket to leave, please stop them!!!
