The kitchen crew were hard at work in the steaming kitchen...


Wor. Ernie Perault prepared some of the delicious corn bread and rolls to be put on the tables...

Lots of folks showed up in support and enjoyed a fine meal...


All told this supper took us more than half way toward our Scholarship goal for the year...Another supper in the spring should allow us to easily afford the three book awards that we present each year to deserving students in the three High Schools in our jurisdiction.

November, 2008 Stated Communication

A Fellowcraft Degree for our new Bro. Perry is scheduled for our Annual Meeting on the 17th of December with a 6:30 PM supper as usual.
