Lots has been happening at Starlite, and it’s only just begun! We started off the second half of our year by volunteering at Second Harvest Foodbank on March 3rd; we had eleven members spend two hours checking food for expiration dates and repackaging. All agreed we should do this again in the future. Many of our members continue to volunteer at the Kohl Center for hockey games and other events, such as the boys state basketball tournament. Please contact Gail Piper or Debbie Holum for information. On March 19th, we honored Brother Jim Moore, aka Uncle Sam, as Grand Representative to District of Columbia. “Uncle Sam” was the contestant on “Deal or No Deal”; unfortunately he didn’t win the coveted $20! But, all 60+ in attendance had a fun, enjoyable evening. At our short meeting prior to the festivities, we had a brief update from our trustees regarding their meeting with Doric trustees on the new lodge. Please forward any questions, comments or concerns to our trustees, Laverne Storkson, Carla Lewiston or Sheri Severson. More to come.

 

Our meeting on April 2nd will be elections and on April 16th, we’ll have Friends Night; please invite and/or offer a ride to some of those that have not attended for awhile. Our first meeting in May, we will be honoring Secretaries and Treasurers. And, another reminder to mark your calendars for Grand Chapter on May 20-22 at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Stevens Point. Another date to reserve… July 12th, Party for our new WGM, Kris Engbring and WGP, Ron Rasmussen at the Crowne Plaza, E. Washington Avenue, Madison. The excitement is building as Kris and Ron begin to announce their appointed ten…. Watch the Wisconsin OES Website for updates; www.wisconsinoes.org.

Think Spring, as we are enjoying yet another “winter storm” on this second day of Spring! And, remember, make Starlite “the place to be” on the first and third Wednesdays each month. We look forward to seeing you soon.
