Kelner and daughter, Sister Pat
(Kelner) Perez, for decorating the halí
and tables. Along with this, an
additional thanks to Paťs husband
“Shayo” for letting us use some of
their decorations. As always, the
faithful bunch stayed behind to help
with the cleanup so those of us who
háve to stay can get home before dark -
thirty. Thanks Brothers Albert and
“Tony” and the kitchen crew of
Sisters Nezval, Helen and Pat.
Now a point of view on the
requested extension of time by the
Supreme Lodge concerning the Camp
Ground report. It is the opinion of this
writer and his alone that THIS
EXTENSION MUST BE
GRANTED!! ! He urges all of his
fellow delegates to VOTE YES. With
all kinds of crazy laws being proposed
and all kinds of tax changes also in the
wind, it is WISER TO EXTEND THIS
TIME EXTENSION than try to get
out of an unwanted dilemma. We must
remember that the statě legislature will
be convened after the first of the year
and laws passed will not go into effect
until after September. Enough said!!!
To the faithful, see you on the 8th
and this writer remains —
Fraternally yours,
Joseph D. Nezval, President
