Sorry it has been so long since the last post. We have been busy around the lodge gearing up for the events of this year.
First, I'd like to say Happy New Year to everyone. This will be an exciting year in Courtland as we plan out our 125th anniversary as a lodge. We have already had 3 very good meetings including welcoming our District Deputy Grand Master, Right Worshipful Andy Spencer.
In looking ahead through the year, I am working on some good programs to hopefully get our brethren excited to come out to lodge, as well as to try and bring some new members through our door.
Here are a few of the confirmed events that we have planned for the near future.
April 11: Pancake Breakfast at the lodge building. Everyone is welcome to attend. Tickets are $6 each and available in advance from and lodge member or at the door. As always, kids 5 and under eat free. I had the pleasure of meeting with Dan Preston and doing a radio spot for our breakfast. If you haven't had a chance to hear it click this link.
April 21: Our stated communication. More details to come.
April 25: Our annual ladies night. This year it will be at the Courtland Ruritan building. We will be having pulled pork with all of the fixin's. Contact the secretary if you are interested in attending.
May 19: Our stated communication. A special presentation by RW Paul Davis that will include scouting memorabilia. More details to come.
