Dear Worthy Brothers,

Our first meeting of the new Fraternal year will be a celebration of our 2025 Annual Memorial Day Car Cruise by recognizing our many volunteers (including wives and our widows). We will be presenting our Benefactors with checks.

Our new Program Director (Robert Heinle) will be asking for help for the upcoming MOS Parish Community Festival on August 1st and 2nd.

I would like to confirm a date for our council family picnic. The current consensus is to move the picnic back to St. John's (date to be confirmed).

There will be plenty to eat so come hungry. We will have only business topics prior to the start of the night's festivities.
