I must admit, it feels good to be serving as an Officer again. While it is my first time in this Lodge, I served Hemet Lodge #615 a few years ago. I look forward to a busy year based on the upcoming Degree work.

Our first Friendship Breakfast of the year was quite good. We served about 75 happy customers thanks to Bros. Jim Batty, Graydon Bearden, Ben Blanchard, Barry Clay, Derek Clay, Drew Diederich, "Bo" Ridley, Jim Ridley and Wors. Del Bittle, Les Geiger, Manny Zuehlke and Ladies Brandie Ridley and Jean Zuehlke.

There are still a few Members who have not paid their 2006 Dues. We have been 100% paid by the February Stated Meeting for four years in a row. It would be a shame to spoil that record. If you haven't paid your 2006 Dues yet, you are delinquent, so please send them in right away. Thanks!
