I have a request for much needed help for three jobs in the next several weeks, one of which is on a Friday.
We are preparing the lodge for our OES Chapter's 100th Anniversary and other special events.
On Saturday, February 12th at 9:00 am., the downstairs floor tile will be stripped and waxed. We are going to need several volunteers on Friday, February 11th at 6:00 pm., to help relocate tables, chairs, sofa's and other furniture from the downstairs to the upstairs. As the kitchen, pantry and back hallway are not being cleaned, we can utilize these area's for the heavier items. Also, a couple of strong arms will be greatly appreciated to help move the Coke Machine from the building to the bed of my truck for it's trip to the vending machine grave yard in the sky. On the 17th, we will work together to bring everything back down and set up. Probably then, one of the sofa's will be carried to my truck to be taken to it's resting spot as well.
On Thursday, February 24th also at 6:00 pm., we again will need help moving furniture from the upstairs to other rooms so that the carpet can be cleaned the following morning, Friday 25th at 9:00 am.
Also, at this months Stated Meeting we plan on Opening Lodge at 6:00 pm so that we can have time to conduct our stated meeting, adjourn by 7:30 pm and make our way to Holly Hock Hills for our annual valentines dinner. If you have not already done so, please contact our secretary today and let him know you and your lady plan to attend.
In March, I will be looking for a clear, sunny and dry Saturday morning for our members to make the annual visit to the Mustards Grave and give respect and reflecting on their generosity to us at Broad Ripple. That date will be announced in March.
