Los Altos Lodge No. 712 Trestleboard Articles

March 2010


From The East

Brethren—

At the last LAMTA meeting, discussions were held regarding the maintenance of the building. The Lodge needs to have routine maintenance and upgrades that we do not have funds to complete. I have asked for a task list from the building manager in the hope that most, if not all, of these items can be preformed by our members. If you are willing to put in some time I’m sure that we can find a task that you can do. Please let me know if you are willing and able to perform these jobs. The tasks include installing baseboards on the second floor, painting walls and trim, cleaning gum from the Lodge chairs, changing light bulbs and other tasks as required.

Please note the “new clock” in the Lodge that was funded by donations. In that regard, I would also remind the Brothers that we can always use donations toward the elevator loan.
