Can you believe it is already
October? Where has the time gone?
As always, October is another busy
month.

and shop with a hero. It starts at 9am

welcome.
Wednesday, October 11th we will be

Chamber Business After Hours is

Don't forget Pizza Night the 2nd
Saturday of the month. No one makes better pizza than us.
Wing night is back up and running on the
3rd Wednesday of each month... I am sure everyone has missed that. Best
wings in town!
The Marshalltown
Veterans Hog Roast is October 21st. Volunteers would be appreciated. Tanner McCreedy has more information if you
are interested. Contact him at 641-233-0015
or tm_charger33@yahoo.com.
Red Ribbon Week is the week of the
23rd. Try to make yourself available to support the cause.
Ryan Ford is the president of PER's and
has scheduled a PER meeting for the 26th. I am hoping all of you PER's
will be able to attend and share your knowledge and ideas.
Kevin’s Game Night will be the 26th
as well. Meal at 6:30, games @ 7.
Lyle Maudlin spearheaded a fundraising
effort to purchase our own historical flags for the Flag Day ceremony.
Because of his vision, we were able to purchase all of the flags and stands at
no expense to the lodge.
Our grand exalted rule Randy P. Shook's
goal is a plus membership in every lodge. This would be the first
time in YEARS that we would show a gain in membership. Three in a Row,
Let's Grow. If you have already proposed
both of your friends, go make another friend.
Hate to beat a dead horse, but your
dues have already been paid to the state and grand lodge. If you have not
paid them to us, please do so, ASAP.
Fraternally yours,
Steve Winslow
Exalted Ruler
Unfortunately, due to scheduling
conflicts, the October stagette has been replaced by Business After Hours on
the 12th. Watch your emails ladies --- we may need some help!
