Lodge Members,

We will be meeting this Saturday (June 11) at Silver Trails for our regularly scheduled Membership Business Meeting at 9am. Following the meeting, around 11am, we will be providing some light service to the Nature Center by planting some flowers. A lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided before we shoot rifles with Ranger Jerry. Please bring $5.00 to cover the cost of food and ammunition. We plan to see you all then!
