Good evening. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to do a better job posting on our page. 2024 was a busy year for our lodge. We had the building re point tucked, donated some bicycles to our local school as part of a reading program, had a successful soup supper to support a families medical needs, first ever block party, preparing/ delivering 142 Thanksgiving meals all around town, and so much more!!
