Dear Ladies, Here we are in February. Can you believe it? January was good & sad. We had two good Lodge members pass away, Wayne Ford (Pat) our lodge Santa, and a Trustee. and Richard Lyons, Special Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, Utah (Geri). They will be greatly missed by all of us. May God bless the Families of these great Elks. Our January meeting had a great attendance (it seems as though we improve each month). Shirley & Teri, our chair Ladies decorated our room, cooked a very good healthy dinner. Teri Van Patten spoke to us about the aligning of the stars and how it effects our lives. We all enjoyed the knowledge Teri has on the subject. Now about RAD. Officer Henderson never got back to me about the times we could have the instructors come to Lodge to help in self-defense classes. I will continue to pursue this activity.
