3 Treat Event - - Special thanks to all members who brought a meal to a Lodge meeting in 2013! This year s thank you event was held on a warm March Day and it was truly a great way to thank and celebrate all participating members at the Lobster Boil Treat s luncheon held at the Fraher s home. Special thanks to Head Chef, Tom Beal and his trusty Sous Chefs; John Fraher, Joe Valente, and Tom & Tammy Manini. It was an amazing feast and a very special way to say thank you to those members who signed up and brought dinner to a lodge meeting. If you would like to be included in next year s treat Thank you, please contact Tammy Manini to sign up! St. Patrick s Day - - There was a tremendous turn-out for this event 101 lodge members!

Thank you to Tammy & Tom Manini for arranging this wonderful event. Everyone always looks forward to this day! CHARITY COMMITTEE NEWS: The committee s goal for 2014 is to increase participation from our Lodge members in hosting the charity events. This year they are starting with a clean slate. All requests for 2014 charity funds must be submitted via form (which can be found at the lodge s website under the charity section) to Armand Dadoun, Charity Chairperson. The Charity committee will review and work with our members to help them run the event. We are looking for our members input. If you want to brainstorm an idea before you submit your request, feel free to talk to anyone on the committee: Charity Chairperson: Armand Dadoun Committee: Jenny Dadoun, John Fraher, Ralph Huerta, Rafael Huerta Zvi Kirschenbaum, Ed Schneider, Tony Vicino, Ray Zerbib

4 TREATS RESPONSIBILITY Each meeting we bring wonderful treats to our lodge. Anyone doing this realizes it is a LOT of work! Most of us just do it once a year, so it may be hard to remember what is required. Following is a checklist to help when you are bringing treats: NOTE: Treats budget has been increased to $175 1) Sign up with Tammie Manini at (650) (or at a lodge meeting to arrange to bring treats) 2) The treats limit is $200, excluding drinks and paper products. They are already at the Lodge. 3) Arrive at the hall by 7:00pm, and arrange access by getting the lodge key from any of our five elected officers (see list at top of newsletter) 4) Make sure you know the combinations to the locks upstairs. Elected officers have combinations. 5) You will probably miss the meeting the night you have treats. If you need to report on something, get a helper. 6) When the treats are complete, you must clean up the hall. Along with help from the other members, make sure that the tables and chairs are put back. 7) You must lock all the cabinets upstairs as well as the hall when you are exiting the building.
