EXALTED RULER MESSAGE

Dear Members, Spouses & Friends,

Nominations and Elections are in February for all Chair Officers and one 5 year Trustee position.  All Officers must attend meetings twice a month and fulfill all duties in accordance with the office.  Please give this opportunity serious consideration.

We have 3 Hoop Shoot finalists going to Midland for the State finals.  Congratulations to all of them!

The 2010 - 2011 Lodge dues have been mailed out so please renew your membership at your earliest convenience. The amount of the dues has remained the same as last year.  If for some reason you have not received yours, please contact      Michelle in the Lodge office (616-453-2451 ext. 210) as soon as possible so we can get the membership program corrected.
I am coming to the end of my 3 years as Exalted Ruler and have been elected to the office of District Vice Chairman along with being the District Veterans Representative. 

Thank you for all of your help over the years.

Fraternally,
David Stratton
Exalted Ruler
