Exalted Rulers Message

            First off let me say thanks to all of you that helped out at the fairgrounds on Central's 50th class reunion. We couldn't have done it without everyone's help. Pat yourself on the back, and again, thanks!
            I have a message for all of you that don't come down: You are really missing some great meals and fun functions! Our club manager, Sue, is always dreaming up something new, and the Lodge looks great thanks to Sue and her volunteers (you know who you are) Who are doing a fantastic job decorating for Halloween. Take a moment and check out the calender  then come down and join us.
            I'd like to thank Jack McElravy for accepting the Lecturing Knight Position for the remainer of the year. Your support as an officer and member will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the P.E.R.'s and Dan Lowe for filling the chair positions that have been vacated so far this year. I'd like to wish John Hatch the best of luck. Due to personal reasons John had to resign his position as Exalted Ruler.
            We could use some good people to step forward and fill teh chair positions that have become vacant. On behalf of the officers and members of the lodge I'd like to take this opportunity to the Jack Moothart for generously donating hit time, twice by servis as a Trustee for our Lodge. Our thoughts are with you.

Gary Winkler, Exalted Ruler
