Doug Beeghly, PER

I would like to start out

by welcoming our 23

new members to the

Lodge.

September was a great

month, and I would like to

welcome back all those mem-

bers who may have been on

vacation over the summer.

The House Committee has

reinitiated Friday night din-

ners with a great turnout and

success. Also the breakfast

committee has begun again,

and another stellar turnout.

Bill Wolfe, PER is also back

on site for Trap, so why not

come on down for some

breakfast, then shoot trap.

For those of you who may

not know, but both Sherry

Perleoni, and Louise Beeghly

prepare Sunday lunches at the

bar, so there is plenty to do

on a Sunday afternoon.

Tom Herzog had the annu-

al Charity Golf tournament,

and it was a great success. I

would like to thank him, the

sponsors, and all the volun-

teers. He could not have done

it without your help. Tom

will have a list of all the vol-

unteers later in this Upstart.

The “Steak/Disco” night

has been postponed to later in

the year. If you are interested

in hosting a Friday/Saturday

night dinner, please contact

me or a member of the House

Committee. We will gladly

help you, plan, cook and

cleanup.

We can all do more, and

stop depending on those

members who do so much

already for the Lodge. It is

your Lodge too, so get in-

volved!
