Pancakes, French Toast

$6.00

The year has started on a good note! This being a new year, we are planning some new events and reworking some of our old events. With the help of Past Presidents, Father Roy Kiggins, and Bro. Steve Venuti, our memorial service took place on January 19th. We paid great tribute to our deceased brothers. Starting this month, we will hold our new monthly breakfasts. The breakfast will consist of pancakes, French toast, sausage, home fries, juice and coffee for $6.00; it is sure to fill you up! We will be starting fish dinners again this year on Fridays starting February 8th and running through the end of Lent. This year our assembly meetings will also be getting a make over. Starting in April, our assembly meetings will be dinner meetings. For $9.00, a 10 ounce steak will be served at 7:00pm and the meeting will be held during dinner. We will be joining our sisters of the GAIL lodge on March 25th to hold a joint installation of officers. We hope to make 2013 a year of coming together. We are trying to revitalize the lodge and transform it into something that will last another 35 years! We look forward to seeing you . Felice Anno Nuovo Jamie J. Kaim Jr. President
