Lodge Mortgage Gets Chiseled Down
During the months of March and April, a total of $4339.50 in extra payments toward the principal of our Lodge mortgage were made (our regular monthly mortgage payment is $2000.00). These additional payments were the result of memorial donations made on behalf of recently departed members and proceeds from the "Green Bay Packer Backer" Fundraiser. Thank you to all who contributed!
