Social & Business Meeting Mon. 8/11 at 7:30 pm
Our monthly Lodge Social and Business meetingis always on the second Monday of the month – the Social and dinner usually starts at 6:30 and the meeting at 7:30. HOWEVER, there may not be a dinner this month, unless a volunteer wants to bring pizza or something. If you are willing to do this, reply to this newsletter.
This will be a hybrid meeting – a combination of in-person and Zoom, so you can choose how to attend. Come visit and say hi for a bit, or stay and find out what is going on at the business meeting. Let Secretary Laura Brady at secretarysycamore129@gmail.com know if you have an item that you wish the lodge to discuss.

(Pacific time). Come to talk and laugh and enjoy some music and friendship. Bring your harmonica or other instrument, or sing along! If you would like to get on his email list so you get the the Zoom link, email Frank at fgoulart@pacbell.net . Let him know requests for any songs you would like him to play.
