SOS Project Update
A big thank you is in order for the donations totaling over $300.00 for this year's SOS project. As a result of donations received, our Lodge was able to purchase 1200 individual-usage packets of dental floss, 120 tubes of toothpaste, and 204 toothbrushes. These items will be taken to Springfield later this month to be packed with items from other Lodges throughout the state and sent to our troops serving overseas.

Stop by the Lodge on Saturday, January 14th, for an evening of board games and card games. Homemade chicken & dumplings, green beans, slaw, and biscuits will be available starting at 6:00 pm for a donation of $8.00.
