Hi,I was thinking about how you mentioned that more people use technology in different ways now when it comes to contacting people.My thought is that, with the other candidate, they would be preferable if they have the ability to understand the importance of this, and can do more with a computer.In addition, I wanted to say that I might be happier as a member of a committee where I could offer suggestions and follow through on helping in the ways I could.Elaine ...Continue Reading

Hi, Bruce,I was interested in learning that Laura has given up her position as vice president.I find that I would like to learn a little about the duties of vice-president, and then I think I would apply.From observation, I do not think it would be too much to do. So I think it would be another way for me to help out, as I will not be joining my theater group again.I think it would be something to help stay occupied when I do not go out much now.However, I also need to know what is required bef ...Continue Reading

I expect I will be  at the meeting  Monday; barring something unforeseen.  I do think it is in our best interests to approve the request from the  Hall Board, and plan to vote to approve. We know that the Hall Board is certainly careful with funds & will put this loan to good use. We are quite blessed to have the lodge hall, and this help during difficult times is only right.
