From the South – October 2013

Brethren

The summer season is rapidly ebbing and the CHILI weather is upon us! The October family dinner will be an old fashioned chili cook-off. The Lodge will provide the fixin’s, cornbread, sourdough bread, soda crackers, tortillas, sour cream, onions, and of course cheese. We need brothers with a culinary flare to bring in the best pot of home made chili they can create, and we will have some good-natured competition and camaraderie. There are multiple categories to be judged and prizes to all the winners. So whether its vegan or all meat, spicy Tex-Mex or Georgia sweet, bring yours in so we can all have a taste!!

The Fall also rings in the beginning of the Holiday Season, so please contact the J.W. or Secretary and let them know the names, ages and gender of children 12 and under, that may accompany you to this years Christmas Party. We want to be sure Santa brings enough gifts, and spells names correctly. As the temperature drops lets not forget those less fortunate than our families! Again we will be collecting new and used clothing and non-perishable food items to support the many in need who come to our local community food pantries.

Fraternally
